buptljy edited comment on FLINK-6895 at 7/18/18 6:13 AM: --------------------------------------------------------- [~twalthr] I've submit a PR about this issue. But I find it's difficult to return different types according to the value of the literal, because we cannot get the value of the literal in CallGenerator#generate. Maybe we need another functions called "StrToTime" and "StrToDatetime" ? [~nssalian] Do you have any good ideas ? was (Author: wind_ljy): [~twalthr] I think we can use "isOperandLiteral" function in SqlOperatorBinding class. For str_to_date("20-10-2015", "%d-%m-%Y"), the "isOperandLiteral(1, false)" returns true, and for str_to_date("20-10-2015", myField), the "isOperandLiteral(1, false)" return false because myField is an identifier. And we can do the same judgement in "CallGenerator". > Add STR_TO_DATE supported in SQL > -------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-6895 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6895 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Table API & SQL > Affects Versions: 1.4.0 > Reporter: sunjincheng > Assignee: buptljy > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > > STR_TO_DATE(str,format) This is the inverse of the DATE_FORMAT() function. It > takes a string str and a format string format. STR_TO_DATE() returns a > DATETIME value if the format string contains both date and time parts, or a > DATE or TIME value if the string contains only date or time parts. If the > date, time, or datetime value extracted from str is illegal, STR_TO_DATE() > returns NULL and produces a warning. > * Syntax: > STR_TO_DATE(str,format) > * Arguments > **str: - > **format: - > * Return Types > DATAETIME/DATE/TIME > * Example: > STR_TO_DATE('01,5,2013','%d,%m,%Y') -> '2013-05-01' > SELECT STR_TO_DATE('a09:30:17','a%h:%i:%s') -> '09:30:17' > * See more: > ** [MySQL| > https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_str-to-date] -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
