-
[~julianhyde] thanks for the advice. The combinations and permutations have a
wider range of use, but currently there are no such functions after I checked
the main dialects includes MySQL/PostgreSQL/Oracle/BigQuery/Spark/Hive.

Do these dialects have functions for combinations and permutations?
{quote}
p(n, r) = n! / (n - r)!
c(n, r) = n! / (r! . (n - r)!)

These are related to factorial but are more useful because, by dividing
factorials by factorials, they tend to stay in a useful range of values.
