Add a list of unsupported functions #672

Closed morgo closed 5 years ago

See https://github.com/pingcap/tidb/issues/158

For users coming from a MySQL background, it is very useful to include a list of unsupported functions to each function overview page.

Comparing to the MySQL manual, they also have these sections:


Suggested Approach:

Take a look at https://github.com/pingcap/tidb/issues/158

There may be cases where a function was added but not checked off.

It is easiest to complete this task by first changing the list of functions to be alphabetically sorted (as they are in MySQL documentation). Then you can compare the page to MySQL docs and document what is missing.

For example, on the string functions page you can see that TiDB is missing: LOAD_FILE, MATCH, SOUNDEX / SOUNDS LIKE, WEIGHT_STRING.

In the event that TiDB supports all functions for that category, I suggest we still add the section since users may train themselves to look for it. It can say something simple like "TiDB supports all XYZ functions".
