[Maria-developers] Oracle strings functions compatibility : substr / MDEV 10574
Hello Alexander, If you remember, there was still a problem with our function substr_oracle when length is less or equal to zero. Can you review this very small patch for this ? For MDEV-10574, If we overload only functions required for Oracle compatibility (ltrim/rtrim and lpad/rpad), could I make a similar patch ? (by adding functions ltrim_oracle, ... like for substr) It's for us the last blocking point. Regards, Jérôme.

Hi Jerome,
I noticed one more difference in SUBSTR:
SELECT SUBSTR('aaa',1,-1) FROM DUAL;
MariaDB returns an empty string. Oracle returns NULL.
Here's Oracle's documentation:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/functions162.htm
I think we should do this in the same patch, to avoid behavior change in the future.
Would you like to try doing this additional change? Or would you like me to make an incremental patch on top of yours?
Thanks!

Hello Alexander, It's done.
Do you have news from Sergei for MDEV-12874, MDEV-13417 and MDEV- 13418 ?
I asked Sergei, awaiting for his answer. I'll let you know.
Thank you very much.

Hello Alexander, I don't understand how I've missed such an obvious solution ! Here is the new patch.
Thanks. Now it looks simpler.
Can you please do one small thing: move get_position() from "public:" to "protected:".
Ok to make a pull request after this change.
Thank you very much!
Regards. Jérôme.

Hello Jerome,
Hello Alexander, Here is a patch for function SUBSTR in sql_mode=oracle (If position is 0,

I'm thinking of how to get a smaller patch.
Wouldn't it be possible to introduce:
virtual longlong get_position();
longlong Item_func_substr::get_position() { return args[1]->val_int(); }
longlong Item_func_substr_oracle::get_position() { longlong pos= args[1]->val_int(); return pos == 0 ? 1 : pos; }
and just replace all calls for args[1]->val_int() to get_position() ?
Thanks!
Regards, Jérôme.
Hello Alexander, Did you have any time to review this patch ? Regard, Jérôme.
