Description

Summary of the change:
groupConcat() no longer generates wrong SQL syntax for SQLite and no longer ignores unsupported parameters for Oracle and SQL Server.

Detailed description:

  • Why:

It was observed by a user that SQLite uses the wrong syntax for a separator in its GROUP_CONCAT funtion. They were also attempting to use the ORDER BY clause, which Exposed prevents because the database used to not support it. ORDER BY with aggregate functions has been supported since version 3.44.0.

While adjusting the tests to no longer exclude, it was confirmed that SQL Server doesn't actually support DISTINCT in the function. Exposed was ignoring this value if set to true and not including it in SQL, whereas the usual behavior is to fail early.

Oracle was doing the same thing for DISTINCT. But it was also, for some reason, preventing groupConcat() from being used unless an argument for orderBy was provided. ORDER BY is supposed to be optional with LISTAGG function.

  • How:
    • [SQLite] Uses correct (expr, '?') syntax instead of (expr, SEPARATOR '?'). Allows arguments to be passed to orderBy for syntax (expr, '?' ORDER BY col).
    • [SQL Server] Throws UnsupportedByDialectException if dialect is set to true.
    • [Oracle] Allows function to be called without passing argument to orderBy. Throws UnsupportedByDialectException if dialect is set to true.
