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

[~chris-baynes], Let's continue discussion in this JIRA case. Hopefully you saw my design hints on the mail thread. They're only hints, and I can't say with absolute certainty that I am not sending you down the wrong path. So, if it's not making sense please holler.

> EXTRACT_DATE was originally intended to be an internal function, always created by translating a call to EXTRACT.
> Currently this makes the EXTRACT_DATE function rather awkward to use:
> {code}
> SqlOperator op = new SqlSpecialOperator("EXTRACT_DATE", SqlKind.EXTRACT, 2, true, ReturnTypes.INTEGER, null, null);
> builder.call(op, builder.getRexBuilder().makeFlag(TimeUnitRange.YEAR), builder.field(1, 0, "my_date"));
> {code}
> [~julianhyde] suggests calling EXTRACT directly and then have RelBuilder invoke a convertlet to translate into calls to EXTRACT_DATE or date-time arithmetic.
