description
Syntax
VARCHAR array_join(ARRAY<T> arr, VARCHAR sep[, VARCHAR null_replace])
Combines all elements in the array to generate a new string according to the separator (sep) and the string to replace NULL (null_replace). If sep is NULL, return NULL. If null_replace is NULL, return NULL. If sep is an empty string, no delimiter is applied. If null_replace is an empty string or not specified, the NULL elements in the array are discarded directly.
