Scalar Functions

concat

Implementations:
concat(input, option:null_handling): -> return_type
0. concat(varchar<L1>, option:null_handling): -> varchar<L1>
1. concat(string, option:null_handling): -> string

Concatenate strings. The null_handling option determines whether or not null values will be recognized by the function. If null_handling is set to IGNORE_NULLS, null value arguments will be ignored when strings are concatenated. If set to ACCEPT_NULLS, the result will be null if any argument passed to the concat function is null.

Options:
  • null_handling ['IGNORE_NULLS', 'ACCEPT_NULLS']
  • like

    Implementations:
    like(input, match, option:case_sensitivity): -> return_type

  • input: The input string.
  • match: The string to match against the input string.
  • 0. like(varchar<L1>, varchar<L2>, option:case_sensitivity): -> boolean
    1. like(string, string, option:case_sensitivity): -> boolean

    Are two strings like each other. The case_sensitivity option applies to the match argument.

    Options:
  • case_sensitivity ['CASE_SENSITIVE', 'CASE_INSENSITIVE', 'CASE_INSENSITIVE_ASCII']
  • substring

    Implementations:
    substring(input, start, length, option:negative_start): -> return_type
    0. substring(varchar<L1>, i32, i32, option:negative_start): -> varchar<L1>
    1. substring(string, i32, i32, option:negative_start): -> string
    2. substring(fixedchar<l1>, i32, i32, option:negative_start): -> string
    3. substring(varchar<L1>, i32, option:negative_start): -> varchar<L1>
    4. substring(string, i32, option:negative_start): -> string
    5. substring(fixedchar<l1>, i32, option:negative_start): -> string

    Extract a substring of a specified length starting from position start. A start value of 1 refers to the first characters of the string. When length is not specified the function will extract a substring starting from position start and ending at the end of the string. The negative_start option applies to the start parameter. WRAP_FROM_END means the index will start from the end of the input and move backwards. The last character has an index of -1, the second to last character has an index of -2, and so on. LEFT_OF_BEGINNING means the returned substring will start from the left of the first character. A start of -1 will begin 2 characters left of the the input, while a start of 0 begins 1 character left of the input.

    Options:
  • negative_start ['WRAP_FROM_END', 'LEFT_OF_BEGINNING', 'ERROR']
  • negative_start ['WRAP_FROM_END', 'LEFT_OF_BEGINNING']
  • regexp_match_substring

    Implementations:

    1. regexp_match_substring(string, string, i64, i64, i64, option:case_sensitivity, option:multiline, option:dotall): -> string

    Extract a substring that matches the given regular expression pattern. The regular expression pattern should follow the International Components for Unicode implementation (https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/userguide/strings/regexp.html). The occurrence of the pattern to be extracted is specified using the occurrence argument. Specifying 1 means the first occurrence will be extracted, 2 means the second occurrence, and so on. The occurrence argument should be a positive non-zero integer. The number of characters from the beginning of the string to begin starting to search for pattern matches can be specified using the position argument. Specifying 1 means to search for matches starting at the first character of the input string, 2 means the second character, and so on. The position argument should be a positive non-zero integer. The regular expression capture group can be specified using the group argument. Specifying 0 will return the substring matching the full regular expression. Specifying 1 will return the substring matching only the first capture group, and so on. The group argument should be a non-negative integer. The case_sensitivity option specifies case-sensitive or case-insensitive matching. Enabling the multiline option will treat the input string as multiple lines. This makes the ^ and $ characters match at the beginning and end of any line, instead of just the beginning and end of the input string. Enabling the dotall option makes the . character match line terminator characters in a string. Behavior is undefined if the regex fails to compile, the occurrence value is out of range, the position value is out of range, or the group value is out of range.

    Extract all substrings that match the given regular expression pattern. This will return a list of extracted strings with one value for each occurrence of a match. The regular expression pattern should follow the International Components for Unicode implementation (https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/userguide/strings/regexp.html). The number of characters from the beginning of the string to begin starting to search for pattern matches can be specified using the position argument.

If the input string is longer than ‘length’, remove characters from the left-side to shorten it to ‘length’ characters. If the string of ‘characters’ is longer than the remaining ‘length’ needed to be filled, only pad until ‘length’ has been reached. If ‘characters’ is not specified, the default value is a single space.

    center

    Implementations:
    center(input, length, character, option:padding): -> return_type

  • input: The string to pad.
  • length: The length of the output string.
  • character: The character to use for padding.
  • 0. center(varchar<L1>, i32, varchar<L1>, option:padding): -> varchar<L1>
    1. center(string, i32, string, option:padding): -> string

    Center the input string by padding the sides with a single character until the specified length of the string has been reached. By default, if the length will be reached with an uneven number of padding, the extra padding will be applied to the right side. The side with extra padding can be controlled with the padding option. Behavior is undefined if the number of characters passed to the character argument is not 1.

    Options:
  • padding ['RIGHT', 'LEFT']
  • left

    Implementations:
    left(input, count): -> return_type
    0. left(varchar<L1>, i32): -> varchar<L1>
    1. left(string, i32): -> string

    Extract count characters starting from the left of the string.

    Implementations:
    right(input, count): -> return_type
    0. right(varchar<L1>, i32): -> varchar<L1>
    1. right(string, i32): -> string

    Extract count characters starting from the right of the string.

    string_split

    Implementations:
    string_split(input, separator): -> return_type

  • input: The input string.
  • separator: A character used for splitting the string.
  • 0. string_split(varchar<L1>, varchar<L2>): -> List<varchar<L1>>
    1. string_split(string, string): -> List<string>

    Split a string into a list of strings, based on a specified separator character.

    regexp_string_split

    Implementations:
    regexp_string_split(input, pattern, option:case_sensitivity, option:multiline, option:dotall): -> return_type

  • input: The input string.
  • pattern: The regular expression to search for within the input string.
  • 0. regexp_string_split(varchar<L1>, varchar<L2>, option:case_sensitivity, option:multiline, option:dotall): -> List<varchar<L1>>
    1. regexp_string_split(string, string, option:case_sensitivity, option:multiline, option:dotall): -> List<string>

    Split a string into a list of strings, based on a regular expression pattern. The substrings matched by the pattern will be used as the separators to split the input string and will not be included in the resulting list. The regular expression pattern should follow the International Components for Unicode implementation (https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/userguide/strings/regexp.html). The case_sensitivity option specifies case-sensitive or case-insensitive matching. Enabling the multiline option will treat the input string as multiple lines. This makes the ^ and $ characters match at the beginning and end of any line, instead of just the beginning and end of the input string. Enabling the dotall option makes the . character match line terminator characters in a string.

    Options:
  • case_sensitivity ['CASE_SENSITIVE', 'CASE_INSENSITIVE', 'CASE_INSENSITIVE_ASCII']
  • multiline ['MULTILINE_DISABLED', 'MULTILINE_ENABLED']
  • dotall ['DOTALL_DISABLED', 'DOTALL_ENABLED']
  • Aggregate Functions

    string_agg

    Implementations:
    string_agg(input, separator): -> return_type

  • input: Column of string values.
  • separator: Separator for concatenated strings
  • 0. string_agg(string, string): -> string

    Concatenates a column of string values with a separator.
