[jira] [Updated] (ASTERIXDB-2566) Missing type functions for use in
SQL++
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ASTERIXDB-2566?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Till updated ASTERIXDB-2566:
----------------------------
Description:
(Initially reported by AsterixDB user Nick Digeronimo)
The AsterixDB docs seem to be missing type identification functions for some types. For example, there is no "is_date" function. In fact, there are a number of missing type checks for types date, datetime, time, duration, and possibly more. A generic "get_type" method might be helpful to solve this problem.
The type functions are listed on the AsterixDB help page: [https://asterixdb.apache.org/docs/0.9.4/sqlpp/builtins.html#TypeFunctions]
We should have an is_XXX function for each of the supported primitive types plus each of the structured types.
We should also have the suggested get_type function (name TBD), e.g., which would take a value in and return the string name of its type.
