Hello list,
The Orafce compatibility package doesn't seem to have operators defined
(looked in the sql load file). The function I'm specifically interested
in, is Oracle's concatenation that regards a NULL as the empty string
and hence returns 'the other value'. This in contrast with Pg's || that
returns NULL if either of the operands is NULL. The Orafce package
contains a concat function with Oracle behaviour, however an operator is
missing.
Having an associative operator has benefits over having only a function,
since that would make translating expressions like 'monkey' || 'nut' ||
NULL easy.
What about adding something like operator ||| in the orafce package for
concat?
Regards,
Yeb Havinga
