Daniel Barclay (Drill) updated DRILL-2645: ------------------------------------------ Summary: SQL Functions page should specify return types in terms of SQL types (was: SQL Function page should specify return types in terms of SQL types) > SQL Functions page should specify return types in terms of SQL types > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DRILL-2645 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-2645 > Project: Apache Drill > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Daniel Barclay (Drill) > > On the SQL Functions page currently at > http://drill.apache.org/docs/sql-functions/, the return type for string > functions is specified in terms of "int", "text", and "byte array" instead of > being specified in terms of Drill SQL types (e.g., "INTEGER", "BYTE ARRAY", > etc.) > Additionally, names of SQL types should be given in all uppercase, as they > are used in the SQL standard, as they are specified to appear in > INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS, and as they appear in the JDBC equivalent of > INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS. (Another reason is that it's not clear, for > example, which occurrence of "numeric" is the adjective "numeric" and which > means the proper noun (datatype name) "NUMERIC".) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
