[FRG-78] Collation Clause Should be on Expression Instead of Identifier #792

Open dynamobi-build opened 12 years ago

dynamobi-build commented 12 years ago

[reporter="jvs", created="Fri, 17 Mar 2006 15:07:11 -0500 (GMT-05:00)"] Currently, the parser binds a COLLATE clause to an identifier. But SQL2003
Part 2 Section 6.28 says it's applicable to an entire character string expression
(nothing special about identifiers). So, we need a new operator to represent
it, and class SqlIdentifier should not have a collation attribute.

I am deleting the current incorrect parser definitions, because they're getting
in the way for UDT DDL.

------- Comment #2 From John Sichi 2005-02-02 01:33 [reply] -------
I am disabling SqlParserTest.testLiteralCollate; please re-enable it once
fixed.

------- Comment #3 From John Sichi 2005-02-02 01:43 [reply] -------
Note that everything I said about identifiers goes for literals as well (e.g.
SqlCharStringLiteral shouldn't have a collation attribute).

Also disabling a bunch of tests in SqlValidatorTest.

accept

------- Comment #6 From John Sichi 2005-02-03 02:55 [reply] -------
Also disabled some tests in Rex2CalcPlanTest. All disabled tests are marked
with comment referring to dtbug 280.

Reassign from Wael to component owner.

Reassigning to Julian for dispatch. This is the bug with the description of
the other mistakes Wael made with collation support.

select 'a' collate x from t

gives a parse error 'Expecting '. The end-user cannot be
expected to know that collation names are of the form xxx$yy[$zz]. The error
should be from the validator, not the parser, and should say 'Unknown
collation 'x''.

Another query:

select 'a' collate x$y from t

gives java.nio.charset.UnsupportedCharsetException. Again, this should be a
validation error not a parse error, something like 'Unknown charset 'y''.
