Andrew McIntyre updated DERBY-1623:
-----------------------------------

    Attachment: 1623-parser-guess.diff

Hi Manish,

I took a stab at implementing the TRIM grammar that Bernt described. This generates a valid grammar via javacc, but only because the call to columnReference in the new characterValueExpression is commented out. Uncommented, that generates the following error:

     [java] Warning: Choice conflict involving two expansions at
     [java]          line 6183, column 5 and line 6188, column 5 respectively.
     [java]          A common prefix is: "ucase"
     [java]          Consider using a lookahead of 2 for earlier expansion.

so some work would be needed to disambiguate characterValueFunction and columnReference.

And of course, execution is an entirely separate matter, but I thought this might give you some food for thought.
