[jira] [Updated] (CALCITE-3959) Implement INSTR function

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-3959?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Joey Moore updated CALCITE-3959:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
BiqQuery and Oracle both support functionally identical [INSTR|https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/standard-sql/string_functions#instr](source_value, search_value[, position[, occurrence]]) functions which accepts 2 (character strings or binary strings), 1 optional int representing position, and 1 optional int representing occurrence.

Occurrence and position are assigned a default value of 1 if not specified.

The function returns the 1-based position of the nth occurrence of the 2nd operand in the 1st operand where n is defined by the 4th operand. The function begins searching at the 1-based position specified in the 3rd operand.

The function also supports negative position values, with -1 indicating the last character, and will search backwards from the position specified in that case. 

Returns 0 if:
 * No match is found.
 * If occurrence is greater than the number of matches found.
 * If position is greater than the length of source_value.

Returns NULL if:
 * Any input argument is NULL.

Returns an error if:
 * position is 0.
 * occurrence is 0 or negative.

EXAMPLE: {{INSTR("abc", "bc")}} would return 2.

EXAMPLE: {{INSTR("abcabc", "bc", 3)}} would return 5.

EXAMPLE: {{INSTR("abcabc", "bc", -1, 1)}} would return 5.

EXAMPLE: {{INSTR("abcabc", "bc", -1, 2)}} would return 2.

 

MySQL also has an  [INSTR|https://www.w3schools.com/sql/func_mysql_instr.asp] function, the functionality of which is a subset of the INSTR present in BQ and Oracle. MySQL INSTR only takes 2 parameters and returns the first occurrence of the search value in the source value.
