Add function name (such as character length function) abstraction to database drivers

Created on 9 November 2012, over 12 years ago
Updated 2 April 2025, 4 months ago

It will be useful to have a method to modify a query to insert database specific function call.
For example, it can be character length calculation for database fields (LENGTH or CHARACTER_LENGTH or something else for different RDBMSes). The possible use cases are length filters in Views, see this issue:
#1263238: LENGTH vs CHARACTER_LENGTH in string filters β†’

    Thank you for sharing your idea for improving Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this proposal meets the Criteria for evaluating proposed changes. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or there is no community support. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
