I'm still working on getting tests working for Firebird.
One of the tests that fails is the documentation test
org.hibernate.userguide.hql.HQLTest.test_hql_substring_function_example
The reason this test fails is that Firebird hasn't implemented the
SQL:2011 requirement that start positions lower than 1 should be handled
as 1. See:
http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-5480
The example code is:
List<String> prefixes = entityManager.createQuery(
"select substring( p.number, 0, 2 ) " +
"from Call c " +
"join c.phone p", String.class )
.getResultList();
However this example is slightly confusing in that it implies that start
position is 0-based, while both SQL and JPA 2.1 (section 4.6.17.2.1)
make clear it should be 1-based.
Any objections if I prepare a pull request to change this example to use
1 and the related documentation to specify that start position is 1-based?
Or is there a specific reason this example uses 0?
