+This list of SQL functions should be kept in sync with SqlExpressionTest to reduce confusion due to the large amount of SQL functions.
+The documentation is split up and ordered like the tests in SqlExpressionTest.
+-->
+
+The Flink SQL functions (including their syntax) are a subset of Apache Calcite's built-in functions. Most of the documentation has been adopted from the [Calcite SQL reference](https://calcite.apache.org/docs/reference.html).
