Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-5597:
--------------------------------------
Compare the JDBC escape function (from Appendix D2 of the 4.1 JDBC spec):
"REPLACE(string1, string2, string3) Replaces all occurrences of string2 in
string1 with string3"
Derby supports a number of builtin functions, including trig functions, which I
find in appendix D1 of the JDBC spec, but not in the SQL Standard. This
precedent makes me comfortable about adding this function.
> Add support for a SQL REPLACE(in, search, replace) function
> -----------------------------------------------------------

> Key: DERBY-5597
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5597
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 10.8.2.2
> Reporter: Lukas Eder
> Labels: function, sql, string
>
> I don't know any other database that lacks this type of function (even SQLite
> has it):
> REPLACE(in, search)
> REPLACE(in, search, replace)
> But according to the Derby docs, this doesn't exist in Derby:
> http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.8/ref/rrefsqlj29026.html
> It would be quite simple to implement, I guess. Yet really useful for many
> people. Some documentation examples from other databases:
