Hi,
I had been going through the LEX struct and could not find any flag member there which could be used to specify if a function is aggregate or not. So i created the new flag inside sp_head, so as to make sure it could be used for stored procedures too in the future.
I have committed the changes on GitHub :)

Hi Varun,

Getting the parser to accept the syntax is a good first step. Writing tests is the correct way to go also.

Now we need to have a way to pass this extra information to the part of the code that stores / executes this procedure. When we encounter this AGGREGATE_SYM syntax we have to record it somewhere. We generally use the LEX structure for this. See if there is any flag member within it that you can use for this purpose. If you can't find any, you can potentially create one yourself.

Now, it would be a good time to try and familiarize yourself with how we get from having a regular parsed function to storing it and afterwards executing it. This is the main logic that we have to deal with. I'm not going to suggest you any specific thing to do right now as there are multiple ways to do this. Try and come up with a simple plan on how to extend this functionality for our use case. You don't have to code it all, just yet :). We'll improve (or perhaps change it) afterwards. It doesn't have to be perfect the first time, but this way you'll get a try at designing an implementation idea.

Great job so far!
Vicentiu

Hi,
As in my previous mail I have added the FETCH statement to the parser and have tested it, when the syntax is correct . Now I am writing test that would also give an error for incorrect syntax. Also I would like how to proceed further :).
