Add GREATEST(expr1, expr2, ... exprN) and LEAST(expr1, expr2, exprN)
functions which are in the family of CONDITIONAL functions.
Implementation follows PostgreSQL behaviour, so the functions return
`NULL` when all of their arguments evaluate to `NULL`.
Renamed `CoalescePipe` and `CoalesceProcessor` to `ConditionalPipe` and
`ConditionalProcessor` respectively, to be able to reuse them for
`Greatest` and `Least` evaluations. To achieve that `ConditionalOperation`
has been added to differentiate between the functionalities at execution
time.
Closes: #35878
This operator handles nulls in different way than the normal `=`.
If one of the operants is `null` and the other not it returns `false`.
If both operants are `null` it returns `true`. Therefore in contrary to
`=`, which returns `null` if at least one of the operants is `null`, this one
never returns `null` as a result.
Closes: #35871
Implement the functionality to translate the
`field IN (value1, value2,...)` expressions to proper Lucene queries
or painless script or local processors depending on the use case.
The `IN` expression can be used in SELECT, WHERE and HAVING clauses.
Closes: #32955
`CONVERT` works exactly like cast with slightly different syntax:
`CONVERT(<value>, <data_type)` as opposed to `CAST(<value> AS <data_type>)`
Moreover it support format of the MS-SQL data types `SQL_<type>`,
e.g.: `SQL_INTEGER`
Closes: #34513
* New OCTET_LENGTH function
* Changed the way the FunctionRegistry stores functions, considering the alphabetic ordering by name
* Added documentation for the RANDOM function
* Changed the format of the String functions documentation page.
* Adopted the same format for Math functions, but completely changed the examples.
* Added missing documentation for Math functions.
* Added TRUNCATE function, modified ROUND to accept two parameters instead of one. Made the second parameter optional for both functions.
* Added documentation for both functions.
Split function section into multiple chapters
Add String functions
Add (small) section on Conversion/Cast functions
Add missing aggregation functions
Enable documentation testing (was disabled by accident). While at it,
fix failing tests
Improve spec tests to allow multi-line queries (useful for docs)
Add ability to ignore a spec test (name should end with -Ignore)
