Re: MDEV-10142 - bb-10.2-compatibility

 

Hello Alexander, Sergei,
Concat function exists in Oracle, but it accepts only two operand. Due to this, it's not very useful and we don't use it. 
Changing only operator || is fine for us.

Regards,
Jérôme.

Thanks for addressing my suggestions.

We're discussing the change with our architect Sergei Golubchik.

Briefly, the idea is:

Perhaps we should not change the function CONCAT().
This is a non-standard MySQL/MariaDB function, and it does not exist in Oracle. So probably it should stay sql_mode independent, while sql_mode should affect only the concatenation operator ||.

Would this solution work for you?

We're still discussing details. I'll get back to you soon.

Greetings.
