This function can also pass in only one numeric1 parameter and not set integer2 to use. If integer2 is not set, the function truncates as if integer2 were 0.

      The percentage must be a literal numeric value between `[0.0, 1.0]` or an array of such values. 
      If a variable expression is passed to this function, the result will be calculated using any one of them.
      frequency describes how many times expr should be counted, the default value is 1.
      
      If no expr lies exactly at the desired percentile, the result is calculated using linear interpolation of the two nearest exprs. 
      If expr or frequency is `NULL`, or frequency is not positive, the input row will be ignored.
      
      NOTE: It is recommended to use this function in a window scenario, as it typically offers better performance. 
      In a regular group aggregation scenario, users should be aware of the performance overhead caused by a full sort triggered by each record.
      
      `value <NUMERIC>, percentage [<NUMERIC NOT NULL> | <ARRAY<NUMERIC NOT NULL> NOT NULL>], frequency <INTEGER_NUMERIC>`
      `(INTEGER_NUMERIC: TINYINT, SMALLINT, INTEGER, BIGINT)`

When performing a cast operation that may fail, like STRING to INT, one should rather use TRY_CAST, in order to handle errors. If "table.exec.legacy-cast-behaviour" is enabled, CAST behaves like TRY_CAST. E.g., CAST('42' AS INT) returns 42; CAST(NULL AS STRING) returns NULL of type STRING; CAST('non-number' AS INT) throws an exception and fails the job.
  - sql: TRY_CAST(value AS type)
    table: ANY.tryCast(TYPE)
    description: Like CAST, but in case of error, returns NULL rather than failing the job. E.g., TRY_CAST('42' AS INT) returns 42; TRY_CAST(NULL AS STRING) returns NULL of type STRING; TRY_CAST('non-number' AS INT) returns NULL of type INT; COALESCE(TRY_CAST('non-number' AS INT), 0) returns 0 of type INT.

    description: Returns the string representation of the input expression's data type. By default, the returned string is a summary string that might omit certain details for readability. If force_serializable is set to TRUE, the string represents a full data type that could be persisted in a catalog. Note that especially anonymous, inline data types have no serializable string representation. In this case, NULL is returned.

    description: |
      Extracts a scalar from a JSON string.

      This method searches a JSON string for a given path expression and returns the value if the
      value at that path is scalar. Non-scalar values cannot be returned. By default, the value is
      returned as `STRING`. Using `dataType` a different type can be chosen, with the following
      types being supported:

      * `VARCHAR` / `STRING`
      * `BOOLEAN`
      * `INTEGER`
      * `DOUBLE`

      For empty path expressions or errors a behavior can be defined to either return `null`, raise
      an error or return a defined default value instead. When omitted, the default is
      `NULL ON EMPTY` or `NULL ON ERROR`, respectively. The default value may be a literal or an
      expression. If the default value itself raises an error, it falls through to the error
      behavior for `ON EMPTY`, and raises an error for `ON ERROR`.
      
      For path contains special characters such as spaces, you can use `['property']` or `["property"]` 
      to select the specified property in a parent object. Be sure to put single or double quotes around the property name.
      When using JSON_VALUE in SQL, the path is a character parameter which is already single quoted, 
      so you have to escape the single quotes around property name, such as `JSON_VALUE('{"a b": "true"}', '$.[''a b'']')`.

      ```sql
      -- "true"
      JSON_VALUE('{"a": true}', '$.a')

      -- TRUE
      JSON_VALUE('{"a": true}', '$.a' RETURNING BOOLEAN)

    description: |
      Extracts JSON values from a JSON string.

      The result is returned as a `STRING` or `ARRAY<STRING>`. This can be controlled with the `RETURNING` clause.

      The `wrappingBehavior` determines whether the extracted value should be wrapped into an array,
      and whether to do so unconditionally or only if the value itself isn't an array already.

      `onEmpty` and `onError` determine the behavior in case the path expression is empty, or in
      case an error was raised, respectively. By default, in both cases `null` is returned. Other
      choices are to use an empty array, an empty object, or to raise an error.

      ```sql
      -- '{ "b": 1 }'
      JSON_QUERY('{ "a": { "b": 1 } }', '$.a')

      Creates a structured object from a list of key-value pairs.
      
      This function creates an instance of a structured type identified by the given class name.
      The structured type is created by providing alternating key-value pairs where keys must be

      In Table API and UDF calls, the system will attempt to resolve the class name to an actual implementation class.

      updated to their new values.
      
      ```sql
      -- Update the 'name' field of a user object
      OBJECT_UPDATE(OBJECT_OF('com.example.User', 'name', 'Bob', 'age', 14), 'name', 'Alice')
      -- Returns: User{name='Alice', age=14}
      
      -- Update multiple fields
      OBJECT_UPDATE(OBJECT_OF('com.example.User', 'name', 'Bob', 'age', 14), 'name', 'Alice', 'age', 30)

      Builds a JSON object string by aggregating key-value expressions into a single JSON object.

      The key expression must return a non-nullable character string. Value expressions can be
      arbitrary, including other JSON functions. If a value is `NULL`, the `ON NULL` behavior
      defines what to do. If omitted, `NULL ON NULL` is assumed by default.

      Note that keys must be unique. If a key occurs multiple times, an error will be thrown.

      This function is currently not supported in `OVER` windows.

      ```sql
      -- '{"Apple":2,"Banana":17,"Orange":0}'
      SELECT
        JSON_OBJECTAGG(KEY product VALUE cnt)
      FROM orders

      This function is currently not supported in `OVER` windows, unbounded session windows, or hop
      windows.

      ```sql
