I am referring to [SqlStdOperatorTable.java](https://github.com/apache/calcite/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/apache/calcite/sql/fun/SqlStdOperatorTable.java) in Calcite and tried to find the equivalent functions in Drill. I have marked following functions from [DateTypeFunctions.java](https://github.com/apache/drill/blob/master/exec/java-exec/src/main/java/org/apache/drill/exec/expr/fn/impl/DateTypeFunctions.java) and [ContextFunctions.java](https://github.com/apache/drill/blob/master/exec/java-exec/src/main/java/org/apache/drill/exec/expr/fn/impl/ContextFunctions.java) as isNiladic=true. 1. "current_date" 2. "timeofday" (**is this a niladic function? Not found in Calcite**) 3. {"localtimestamp", "current_timestamp", "now", "statement_timestamp", "transaction_timestamp"} 4. {"current_time", "localtime"} 5. "unix_timestamp" (**is this a niladic function? Not found in Calcite**) 6. {"user", "session_user", "system_user"} 7. "current_schema" 8. "session_id" Please check the above list... and let me know if I should add more. Also, I should not be marking something niladic if it is not as that will break the existing queries.
