xy commented on FLINK-32871:
----------------------------
engines I mean some engines in bigdata scope，such as presto、trino、starrocks and
so on，these engine had function to compute timestamp but name is not
to_timestamp，and support timezone argument. Oracle/SQL Server is not used in
bigdata scope，so i add the function with it，otherwise user can only use udf for
it，and it would increase maintenance cost [~libenchao]

> 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
