             Summary: Fix unparsing for BigQuery SUBSTR
                 Key: CALCITE-5677
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-5677
             Project: Calcite
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Tanner Clary
            Assignee: Tanner Clary


BigQuery's {{SUBSTR(value, position[, length])}} function currently gets 
translated to the standard {{SUBSTRING(value FROM position[ FOR length])]}. 
BigQuery expects the arguments to be comma-separated rather than the use of the 
{{FROM}} and {{FOR}} keywords. 

Hive addresses this issue by adding onto {{HiveSqlDialect#unparseCall}} method. 
I believe BigQuery should do something similar to avoid this incorrect 
translation. The docs for the {{SUBSTR}} (and alias {{SUBSTRING}}) function may 
be found 
[here|https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/standard-sql/string_functions#substr].

I will open a PR shortly that implements my suggestion and adds a couple of 
tests as well.
