>             Project: Derby
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: SQL
>    Affects Versions: 10.8.2.2
>            Reporter: Lukas Eder
>            Priority: Minor

> A similar function was discussed with Rick Hillegas in this ticket:
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5597
> Apparently, JDBC mentions a REPLACE function in its appendix:
> > Compare the JDBC escape function (from Appendix D2 of the 4.1 JDBC spec):
> > "REPLACE(string1, string2, string3) Replaces all occurrences of string2 in string1 with string3"
> It also mentions a REPEAT function
> "REPEAT(string, count) A character string formed by repeating string count times"
> This REPEAT function would be a nice-to-have enhancement to simulate padding directly in the database, where this may be needed. Most databases ship with some form of REPEAT:
> - RPAD(string, LENGTH(string) * count) in Oracle, Ingres
> - REPLICATE(string, count) in Sybase ASE, SQL Server
> - REPEAT(string, count) in DB2, H2, HSQLDB, MySQL, Postgres, Sybase SQL Anywhere
