[jira] [Commented] (METAMODEL-192) Basic type-conversion (scalar)
functions TO_NUMBER, TO_STRING, TO_DATE and TO_BOOLEAN

Metamodel 192/datatype conversion functions
__Do not merge yet__
This is my first attempt at implementing METAMODEL-192, which thereby is also the first time we make pluggable ScalarFunctions available. I wanted to share it early on since I think some people will find the approach interesting ( @ardlema ?) as inspiration for similar scalar functions (SUBSTRING etc.) ... Please let me know if you think the approach is good or not.
You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running:

> With the addition of scalar functions, we should have a basic set of built-in functions.
> This issue represents the need to have basic type-conversion functions for converting values into a new data type. I propose to add 4 built-in functions for that:
> TO_STRING
> TO_NUMBER
> TO_DATE
> TO_BOOLEAN
> When possible this conversion should obviously be done by the backing database. But initially we should also cover all data context implementations by having a client-side application of it.
