---------------------------------------

             Summary: TRIM does not match the behavior of most SQL implementations
                 Key: CALCITE-2571
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-2571
             Project: Calcite
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: core
            Reporter: Andrew Pilloud
            Assignee: Julian Hyde


Most SQL implementations trim all characters if more then one is provided to the trim function. Calcite's SqlFunctions implementation silently drops the extra characters, resulting in data corruption.

Here is a sampling of implementations that trim all characters:
MySQL - https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/string-functions.html#function_trim
Sql Server - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/trim-transact-sql?view=sql-server-2017
Flink - https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-stable/dev/table/sql.html
Spark - https://spark.apache.org/docs/2.3.0/api/sql/index.html#trim
Postgres - https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/functions-string.html
SqLite - https://www.sqlite.org/lang_corefunc.html#trim
