> When generating SQL targeted at Oracle, the JDBC adapter should translate calls to the CHAR_LENGTH function as if they were calls to LENGTH. This is because Oracle has no CHAR_LENGTH function.
> refer: [https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/18/sqlrf/LENGTH.html]
>  
> currently Oracle dialect in Calcite not convert CHAR_LENGTH to LENGTH function, which would error as follow:
> execute sql1
> {code:java}
> select CHAR_LENGTH('aaa') {code}
> error message report:
> {code:java}
> ORA-00904: "CHAR_LENGTH": invalid identifier
> https://docs.oracle.com/error-help/db/ora-00904/
> 00904. 00000 - "%s: invalid identifier"
> *Cause: The identifier or column name entered was invalid.
> *Action: Ensure the following
> Error at Line: 1 Column: 6 {code}
>  
> execute sql2
> {code:java}
> select LENGTH('aaa')  {code}
> then result is ok:
> {code:java}
> 3
> {code}
>  
> so in Oracle dialect,  CHAR_LENGTH should convert to LENGTH function. such as other dialect presto https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-6643
