             Summary: Support Trim characters in the string trim function
                 Key: SPARK-14878
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-14878
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: kevin yu


The current Spark SQL does not support the trim characters in the string trim 
function, which is part of ANSI SQL2003’s standard. For example, IBM DB2 fully 
supports it as shown in the 
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS6NHC/com.ibm.swg.im.dashdb.sql.ref.doc/doc/r0023198.html.
 We propose to implement it in this JIRA..
The ANSI SQL2003's trim Syntax:

SQL
<trim function> ::= TRIM <left paren> <trim operands> <right paren>
<trim operands> ::= [ [ <trim specification> ] [ <trim character> ] FROM ] 
<trim source>
<trim source> ::= <character value expression>
<trim specification> ::=
  LEADING
| TRAILING
| BOTH
<trim character> ::= <character value expression>
