[jira] [Commented] (PHOENIX-2476) Use the standard string concatenation operator symbol

["James Taylor (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-2476?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15034990#comment-15034990 ] 

James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-2476:
---------------------------------------

Looks like Postgres and Oracle support || for string concatenation. I can see how + would be convenient, but not sure I'd call it the standard operator. 

[~julianhyde] or [~maryannxue] - does Calcite support using the + operator for string concatenation?

> Phoenix uses '||' as the string concatenation operator symbol instead of the commonly used '+'
> https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-CA/library/ms177561.aspx
> If we try to use '+' we get an error from the queryserver
> {noformat}Type mismatch. VARCHAR for (COLUMN1 + KEYCOLUMN){noformat}
> The '+' 
> operator is not implemented for VARCHAR so it would be an improvement to implement the standard function for that '+' symbol
