    Hey, sorry for the delay here.  I'm really hesitant to add new syntax the SQLParser as we are trying to focus our efforts on the HiveQL.  Anything that we add here we have to support forever, so I'd rather see this done as a UDF.  As a result I'd suggest we close this issue and discuss further on JIRA if you disagree.
