Hi.
similar to [1], add function argument names to the following functions:
regexp_like, regexp_match,regexp_matches,regexp_replace,
regexp_substr,regexp_split_to_array,regexp_split_to_table,regexp_count
so I call these function in a different notation[2], like:
SELECT regexp_like(string=>'a'||CHR(10)||'d', pattern=>'a.d', flags:='n');
select regexp_match(string=>'abc',n pattern=>'(B)(c)', flags=>'i');
select regexp_matches(string=>'Programmer', pattern=>'(\w)(.*?\1)',
flags=>'ig');
SELECT regexp_replace(source=>'A PostgreSQL function',
pattern=>'a|e|i|o|u', replacement=>'X', start=>1, n=>4, flags=>'i');
SELECT regexp_substr(string=>'1234567890',
pattern=>'(123)(4(56)(78))', start=>1, n=>1, flags=>'i', subexpr=>4);
SELECT regexp_split_to_array(string=>'thE QUick bROWn FOx jUMPs ovEr
The lazy dOG', pattern=>'e', flags=>'i');
SELECT foo, length(foo)
FROM regexp_split_to_table(string=>'thE QUick bROWn FOx jUMPs ovEr The
lazy dOG', pattern=>'e',flags=>'i') AS foo;
SELECT regexp_count(string=>'ABCABCABCABC', pattern=>'Abc', start=>1,
flags=>'i');
In [3], except the above mentioned function, there is a "substring" function.
I want to refactor substring function argument names. it looks like:
Schema | Name | Result data type | Argument data
types | Type
------------+-----------+------------------+--------------------------------------------+------
pg_catalog | substring | bit | bits bit, "from" integer
| func
pg_catalog | substring | bit | bits bit, "from" integer,
"for" integer | func
pg_catalog | substring | bytea | bytes bytea, "from"
integer | func
pg_catalog | substring | bytea | bytes bytea, "from"
integer, "for" integer | func
pg_catalog | substring | text | string text, "from"
integer | func
pg_catalog | substring | text | string text, "from"
integer, "for" integer | func
pg_catalog | substring | text | string text, pattern text
| func
pg_catalog | substring | text | text, text, text
| func
(8 rows)
As you can see, the substring function argument names need an explicit
double quote,
which doesn't look good, so I gave up.
