Research direction

Start by locating EF Core's query translation handling for Enumerable.Repeat and Reverse, then inspect how generated SQL is tested. Confirm the desired translations to REPLICATE and REVERSE and add coverage showing the resulting SQL for both examples.

Description

area-query

There is no straightforward translation to built-in functions for these, but we could do something like this:

string.Join("", Enumerable.Repeat("foo", 10)) -> REPLICATE('foo', 10)
string.Join('', "foo".Reverse()) -> REVERSE('foo')
