(XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX) to the CHAR(16) OCTETS
representation (optimized for storage).
Format:
CHAR_TO_UUID( <string> )
Important (for big-endian servers):
It has been discovered that before Firebird 2.5.2, CHAR_TO_UUID and UUID_TO_CHAR work
incorrectly in big-endian servers. In these machines, bytes/characters are swapped and go in
wrong positions when converting. This bug was fixed in 2.5.2 and 3.0, but that means these
functions now return different values (for the same input parameter) than before.
Example:
select char_to_uuid('93519227-8D50-4E47-81AA-8F6678C096A1') from rdb$database;

algorithm ::= { MD5 | SHA1 | SHA256 | SHA512 }
Important:
- This function returns VARCHAR strings with OCTETS charset with length depended on algorithm.
- MD5 and SHA1 algorithms are not recommended for use due to known severe issues, that algorithms
are provided ONLY for backward compatibility.
Example:
select crypt_hash(x using sha256) from y;
-------
DATEADD
-------

DATEADD( <timestamp_part>, <number>, <date_time> )
timestamp_part ::= { YEAR | MONTH | DAY | WEEK | HOUR | MINUTE | SECOND | MILLISECOND }
Notes:
1) WEEKDAY and YEARDAY cannot be used. It doesn't make sense.
2) YEAR, MONTH and DAY could not be used with time values.
3) All timestamp_part values could be used with timestamp values.
4) When using HOUR, MINUTE, SECOND and MILLISECOND for DATEADD and dates, the quantity added or
subtracted should account at least for one day to produce effect (IE adding 23 hours to a date
doesn't increment it).
5) When using YEAR or MONTH and the input day is greater than the maximum possible day in the
result year/month, the result day is returned in the last day of the result year/month.
Example:
select dateadd(-1 day to current_date) as yesterday

timestamp_part ::= { YEAR | MONTH | DAY | WEEK | HOUR | MINUTE | SECOND | MILLISECOND }
Notes:
1) Returns positive value if the second value is greater than the first one,
negative when the first one is greater or zero when they are equal.
2) Comparison of date with time values is invalid.
3) WEEKDAY and YEARDAY cannot be used. It doesn't make sense.
4) YEAR, MONTH and DAY could not be used with time values.
5) All timestamp_part values could be used with timestamp values.
Example:
select datediff(week from cast('yesterday' as timestamp) - 7 to current_timestamp)
from rdb$database;
------
DECODE
------
Function:
DECODE is a shortcut to CASE ... WHEN ... ELSE expression.

algorithm ::= { block_cipher | stream_cipher }
block_cipher ::= { AES | ANUBIS | BLOWFISH | KHAZAD | RC5 | RC6 | SAFER+ | TWOFISH | XTEA }
stream_cipher ::= { CHACHA20 | RC4 | SOBER128 }
mode ::= { CBC | CFB | CTR | ECB | OFB }
endianness ::= { CTR_BIG_ENDIAN | CTR_LITTLE_ENDIAN }
Important:
- Mode should be specified for block ciphers.
- Initialization vector (IV) should be specified for block ciphers in all modes except ECB and
all stream ciphers except RC4.
- Endianness may be specified only in CTR mode, default is little endian counter.
- Counter length (CTR_LENGTH, bytes) may be specified only in CTR mode, default is the size of IV.
- Initial counter value (COUNTER) may be specified only for CHACHA20 cipher, default is 0.
- Sizes of data strings passed to this functions are according to selected algorithm and mode
requirements.
- Functions return BLOB when first argument is blob and varbinary for all other types.
- Other parameters (except algorithm, mode and endianness) may have any type provided that data size
is appropriate for selected algorithm and mode.
Example:
select encrypt('897897' using sober128 key 'AbcdAbcdAbcdAbcd' iv '01234567') from rdb$database;
select cast(decrypt(x'0154090759DF' using sober128 key 'AbcdAbcdAbcdAbcd' iv '01234567') as varchar(128)) from rdb$database;

2) When a timestamp is passed the return value preserves the time part.
Example:
select first_day(of month from current_date) from rdb$database;
select first_day(of year from current_timestamp) from rdb$database;
select first_day(of week from date '2017-11-01') from rdb$database;

--------
GEN_UUID
--------
Function:
Returns an universal unique number in CHAR(16) OCTETS type.
Format:
GEN_UUID()
Important:
Before Firebird 2.5.2, GEN_UUID was returning completely random strings. This is not compliant
with the RFC-4122 (UUID specification).
This was fixed in Firebird 2.5.2 and 3.0. Now GEN_UUID returns a compliant UUID version 4
string, where some bits are reserved and the others are random. The string format of a compliant
UUID is XXXXXXXX-XXXX-4XXX-YXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX, where 4 is fixed (version) and Y is 8, 9, A or B.
Example:
insert into records (id) value (gen_uuid());
See also: CHAR_TO_UUID and UUID_TO_CHAR
----
HASH
----
Function:
Returns a hash of an argument using a specified algorithm.
Format:
HASH( <any value> [ USING <algorithm> ] )
algorithm ::= { CRC32 }
Important:
- The syntax without USING is very discouraged and maintained for backward compatibility.
It returns a 64 bit integer and produces very bad hashes that easily result in collisions.
- The syntax with USING is introduced in FB 4.0 and returns an integer of appropriate size.
- Implemented in firebird CRC32 is using polynomial 0x04C11DB7.
Example:
select hash(x) from y;
select hash(x using crc32) from y;

--------
LAST_DAY
--------
Function:
Returns a date/timestamp with the last day of the year/month/week of a given
date/timestamp value.
Format:
LAST_DAY( OF { YEAR | MONTH | WEEK } FROM <date_or_timestamp> )
Notes:
1) The last day of the week is considered as Saturday, per the same rules of EXTRACT with WEEKDAY.
2) When a timestamp is passed the return value preserves the time part.
Example:
select last_day(of month from current_date) from rdb$database;
select last_day(of year from current_timestamp) from rdb$database;
select last_day(of week from date '2017-11-01') from rdb$database;

2) The second string is truncated when the result string will
become larger than length.
3) The first string is truncated if its length is greater than the length
parameter.

----------
MAKE_DBKEY
----------
Function:
MAKE_DBKEY( relation, recnum [, dpnum [, ppnum]] )
Creates DBKEY value using relation name or ID, record number, and, optionally,
logical number of data page and pointer page.
Format:
MAKE_DBKEY( <value>, <number> [, <number> [, <number>]] )
Notes:
1) If the first argument (relation) is a string expression or literal, then
it's treated as a relation name and the engine searches for the
corresponding relation ID. The search is case-sensitive.
In the case of string literal, relation ID is evaluated at prepare time.
In the case of expression, relation ID is evaluated at execution time.
If the relation couldn't be found, then isc_relnotdef error is raised.
2) If the first argument (relation) is a numeric expression or literal, then
it's treated as a relation ID and used "as is", without verification
against existing relations.
If the argument value is negative or greater than the maximum allowed
relation ID (65535 currently), then NULL is returned.
3) Second argument (recnum) represents an absolute record number in relation
(if the next arguments -- dpnum and ppnum -- are missing), or a record
number relative to the first record, specified by the next arguments.
4) Third argument (dpnum) is a logical number of data page in relation (if
the next argument -- ppnum -- is missing), or number of data page
relative to the first data page addressed by the given ppnum.
5) Forth argument (ppnum) is a logical number of pointer page in relation.
6) All numbers are zero-based.
Maximum allowed value for dpnum and ppnum is 2^32 (4294967296).
If dpnum is specified, then recnum could be negative.
If dpnum is missing and recnum is negative then NULL is returned.
If ppnum is specified, then dpnum could be negative.
If ppnum is missing and dpnum is negative then NULL is returned.
7) If any of specified arguments has NULL value, the result is also NULL.
8) First argument (relation) is described as INTEGER but could be overriden
by application as VARCHAR or CHAR.
recnum, dpnum and ppnum are described as BIGINT (64-bit signed integer).
Examples:
1) Select record using relation name (note, relation name is in uppercase)
select * from rdb$relations where rdb$db_key = make_dbkey('RDB$RELATIONS', 0)
2) Select record using relation ID
select * from rdb$relations where rdb$db_key = make_dbkey(6, 0)
3) Select all records that physically reside at first data page in relation
select * from rdb$relations
where rdb$db_key >= make_dbkey(6, 0, 0)
and rdb$db_key < make_dbkey(6, 0, 1)
4) Select all records that physically reside at first data page of 6th pointer
page at relation

string1 replacing the substring FROM start FOR length by string2.
Format:
OVERLAY( <string> PLACING <string> FROM <number> [ FOR <number> ] )
Notes:
1) If <length> is not specified, CHAR_LENGTH( <string2> ) is implied.
2) The OVERLAY function is equivalent to:

----------------------
(FB4 extension)
Function:
Returns commit number of given transaction. Result type is BIGINT.
Note, engine internally uses unsigned 8-byte integer for commit numbers,
and unsigned 6-byte integer for transaction numbers. Thus, despite of
SQL language have no unsigned integers and RDB$GET_TRANSACTION_CN returns
signed BIGINT, it is impossible to see negative commit numbers except of
few special values used for non-committed transactions.
Summary, numbers returned by RDB$GET_TRANSACTION_CN could have values below:
-2 - transaction is dead (rolled back)
-1 - transaction is in limbo
0 - transaction is active,

-----------
RSA_ENCRYPT
-----------
Function:
Pads data using OAEP padding and encrypts using RSA public key. Normally used to encrypt
short symmetric keys which are then used in block ciphers to encrypt a message.
Format:
RSA_ENCRYPT ( <string> KEY <public key> [LPARAM <string>] [HASH <hash>] [PKCS_1_5] )
KEY should be a value, returhed by RSA_PUBLIC function.
LPARAM is an additional system specific tag that can be applied to identify which
system encoded the message. Default value is NULL.
hash ::= { MD5 | SHA1 | SHA256 | SHA512 } Default is SHA256.
PKCS_1_5 makes engine use old padding, needed for backward compatibility.
Due to security reasons should NOT be used in new projects.
Example:
(tip - start running samples one by one from RSA_PRIVATE function)
select rdb$set_context('USER_SESSION', 'msg', rsa_encrypt('Some message'
key rdb$get_context('USER_SESSION', 'public_key'))) from rdb$database;

Format:
RSA_DECRYPT ( <string> KEY <private key> [LPARAM <string>] [HASH <hash>] [PKCS_1_5] )
KEY should be a value, returhed by RSA_PRIVATE function.
LPARAM is the same variable passed to RSA_ENCRYPT. If it does not match
what was used during encoding this function will not decrypt the packet.
hash ::= { MD5 | SHA1 | SHA256 | SHA512 } Default is SHA256.
PKCS_1_5 makes engine use old padding, needed for backward compatibility.
Due to security reasons should NOT be used in new projects.
Example:
(tip - start running samples one by one from RSA_PRIVATE function)

Performs PSS encoding of message digest to be signed and verifies it's digital signature
using RSA public key.
Format:
RSA_VERIFY_HASH ( <string> SIGNATURE <string> KEY <public key> [HASH <hash>] [SALT_LENGTH <smallint>] [PKCS_1_5] )
SIGNATURE should be a value, returhed by RSA_SIGN function.
KEY should be a value, returhed by RSA_PUBLIC function.
hash ::= { MD5 | SHA1 | SHA256 | SHA512 } Default is SHA256.
SALT_LENGTH indicates the length of the desired salt, and should typically be small.
A good value is between 8 and 16.
PKCS_1_5 makes engine use old padding, needed for backward compatibility.
Example:
(tip - start running samples one by one from RSA_PRIVATE function)
select rsa_verify_hash(crypt_hash('Test message' using sha256) signature rdb$get_context('USER_SESSION', 'msg')
key rdb$get_context('USER_SESSION', 'public_key')) from rdb$database;
----
SIGN
----
Function:
Returns 1, 0, or -1 depending on whether the input value is positive, zero or
negative, respectively.
Format:
SIGN( <number> )
Example:
select sign(x) from y;
---
SIN
---
Function:
Returns the sine of an angle (expressed in radians).
Format:
SIN( <number> )
Notes:
Argument to SIN must be specified in radians.
Example:
select sin(x) from y;
----
SINH
----
Function:
Returns the hyperbolic sine of an angle (expressed in radians).
Format:
SINH( <number> )
Example:
select sinh(x) from y;
----
SQRT
----
Function:
Returns the square root of a number.
Format:
SQRT( <number> )
Example:
select sqrt(x) from y;
---
TAN
---
Function:
Returns the tangent of an angle (expressed in radians).
Format:
TAN( <number> )
Notes:
Argument to TAN must be specified in radians.
Example:
select tan(x) from y;
----
TANH
----
Function:
Returns the hyperbolic tangent of an angle (expressed in radians).
Format:
TANH( <number> )
Example:
select tanh(x) from y;
-----
TRUNC
-----
Function:
TRUNC(number, scale)
Returns the integral part (up to the specified scale) of a number.
Format:
TRUNC( <number> [, <number> ] )
Notes:
If the scale (second parameter) is negative, the integer part of
the value is truncated. Ex: TRUNC(123.456, -1) returns 120.000.
Example:
1) select trunc(x) from y;
2) select trunc(-2.8), trunc(2.8) from rdb$database; -- returns -2, 2
3) select trunc(987.65, 1), trunc(987.65, -1) from rdb$database; -- returns 987.60, 980.00
------------
UUID_TO_CHAR
------------
Function:
Converts a CHAR(16) OCTETS UUID (that's returned by GEN_UUID) to the
CHAR(32) ASCII representation (XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX).
Format:
UUID_TO_CHAR( <string> )
Important (for big-endian servers):
It has been discovered that before Firebird 2.5.2, CHAR_TO_UUID and UUID_TO_CHAR work
incorrectly in big-endian servers. In these machines, bytes/characters are swapped and go in
wrong positions when converting. This bug was fixed in 2.5.2 and 3.0, but that means these
functions now return different values (for the same input parameter) than before.
Example:
select uuid_to_char(gen_uuid()) from rdb$database;
