Benchao Li commented on FLINK-32871: ------------------------------------ I don't think they are the same thing, and I believe {{TO_TIMESTAMP}} exists in some other databases. I searched it in Google, and it seems that {{SQL Server}}/{{Oracle}}/{{RedShift}} all have it, it would be better to keep it aligned with these engines. > Support BuiltInMethod TO_TIMESTAMP with timezone options > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-32871 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-32871 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Table SQL / API > Reporter: xy > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > Fix For: 1.19.0 > > > Support BuiltInMethod TO_TIMESTAMP with timezone options,TO_TIMESTAMPS now > only use utc timezone,but many scenarios we need timzone to choose,so need a > pr to support it as TO_TIMESTAMP('2023-08-10', 'yyyy-MM-dd', 'Asia/Shanghai') > this scenario in presto,starrocks,trino: > as presto,trino,starrocks: > SELECT timestamp '2012-10-31 01:00 UTC' AT TIME ZONE 'America/Los_Angeles'; > 2012-10-30 18:00:00.000 America/Los_Angeles > so we maybe need this function in to_timestamps -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
