Description

Add the following scalar functions to remove the need for ODBC driver translation for them:

• add LEFT() [alias for STRLEFT()]
• add RIGHT() [alias for STRRIGHT()]
• add WEEK() [alias for WEEKOFYEAR()]
• add QUARTER() [new]
• add MONTHNAME() [new] 

And while we're at it, we'll add QUARTER to date_part() and extract() as well.
