      public void initializeFunctionRegistry(FunctionContributions functionContributions)
      Description copied from class: Dialect
      Initialize the given registry with any dialect-specific functions.

      Support for certain SQL functions is required, and if the database does not support a required function, then the dialect must define a way to emulate it.

      These required functions include the functions defined by the JPA query language specification:

      • avg(arg) - aggregate function
      • count([distinct ]arg) - aggregate function
      • max(arg) - aggregate function
      • min(arg) - aggregate function
      • sum(arg) - aggregate function
      • coalesce(arg0, arg1, ...)
      • nullif(arg0, arg1)
      • lower(arg)
      • upper(arg)
      • length(arg)
      • concat(arg0, arg1, ...)
      • locate(pattern, string[, start])
      • substring(string, start[, length])
      • trim([[spec ][character ]from] string)
      • abs(arg)
      • mod(arg0, arg1)
      • sqrt(arg)
      • current date
      • current time
      • current timestamp
      Along with an additional set of functions defined by ANSI SQL:
      • any(arg) - aggregate function
      • every(arg) - aggregate function
      • var_samp(arg) - aggregate function
      • var_pop(arg) - aggregate function
      • stddev_samp(arg) - aggregate function
      • stddev_pop(arg) - aggregate function
      • cast(arg as Type)
      • extract(field from arg)
      • ln(arg)
      • exp(arg)
      • power(arg0, arg1)
      • floor(arg)
      • ceiling(arg)
      • position(pattern in string)
      • substring(string from start[ for length])
      • overlay(string placing replacement from start[ for length])
      And the following functions for working with java.time types:
      • local date
      • local time
      • local datetime
      • offset datetime
      • instant
      And a number of additional "standard" functions:
      • left(string, length)
      • right(string, length)
      • replace(string, pattern, replacement)
      • pad(string with length spec[ character])
      • repeat(string, times)
      • pi
      • log10(arg)
      • log(base, arg)
      • sign(arg)
      • sin(arg)
      • cos(arg)
      • tan(arg)
      • asin(arg)
      • acos(arg)
      • atan(arg)
      • atan2(arg0, arg1)
      • round(arg0[, arg1])
      • truncate(arg0[, arg1])
      • sinh(arg)
      • tanh(arg)
      • cosh(arg)
      • least(arg0, arg1, ...)
      • greatest(arg0, arg1, ...)
      • degrees(arg)
      • radians(arg)
      • bitand(arg1, arg1)
      • bitor(arg1, arg1)
      • bitxor(arg1, arg1)
      • format(datetime as pattern)
      • collate(string as collation)
      • str(arg) - synonym of cast(a as String)
      • ifnull(arg0, arg1) - synonym of coalesce(a, b)
      • ordinal(arg)
      • string(arg)
      Finally, the following functions are defined as abbreviations for extract(), and desugared by the parser:
      • second(arg) - synonym of extract(second from a)
      • minute(arg) - synonym of extract(minute from a)
      • hour(arg) - synonym of extract(hour from a)
      • day(arg) - synonym of extract(day from a)
      • month(arg) - synonym of extract(month from a)
      • year(arg) - synonym of extract(year from a)
      Note that according to this definition, the second() function returns a floating point value, contrary to the integer type returned by the native function with this name on many databases. Thus, we don't just naively map these HQL functions to the native SQL functions with the same names.
