[jira] [Updated] (CALCITE-5771) Apply two different NULL semantics for CONCAT function(enabled in MySQL, Postgresql, BigQuery and MSSQL)

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-5771?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

ZheHu updated CALCITE-5771:
---------------------------
    Description: 
We now have one CONCAT_FUNCTION which is enabled in MySQL, Postgresql, BigQuery, it always returns NULL when any of the arguments is NULL, and it accepts at least 2 arguments.

The following table describes how different database products define CONCAT function:
||DB Product||Argument type in CONCAT||Argument num in CONCAT||Result||
|MySQL|string|at least 1|returns null if any argument is null, otherwise return string|
|BigQuery|string|at least 1|returns null if any argument is null, otherwise return string|
|Postgresql|any(cast to string)|at least 1|always return string, null is treated as empty string|
|MSSQL|string|2 ~ 254|always return string, null is treated as empty string|

For MySQL and BigQuery, we can reuse the current CONCAT_FUNCTION(but need to change the accepted argument number). We also need another CONCAT function for Postgresql and MSSQL that treats NULL as empty String. And they both accept at least 1 argument.
