DECIMAL and TIMESTAMP used to have NUM_FLAG, but NEWDECIMAL was forgotten.
It's correct that TIMESTAMP does not have the flag nowadays (manual will be updated, connectors
developers will be notified).
client/mysqldump.c:
IS_NUM_FIELD(f) removed and replaced by its definition (f>flags & NUM_FLAG).
include/mysql.h:
- IS_NUM_FIELD() is removed because name is too close to IS_NUM() and it is not used a lot
- INTERNAL_NUM_FIELD() is removed:
* it forgets to test NEWDECIMAL (when IS_NUM() was updated for NEWDECIMAL we forgot
to update INTERNAL_NUM_FIELD()), that's why client didn't mark NEWDECIMAL with NUM_FLAG (a bug).
* it has an obsolete test for length of the TIMESTAMP field: test became accidentally wrong when length
of TIMESTAMP was changed to always be 19 (when the format was changed from YYYYMMDDhhmmss to
YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss), never 8 or 14 anymore. That obsolete test caused TIMESTAMP to lose NUM_FLAG,
which was an accidental but good change (see below).
* IS_NUM() should be used instead
- IS_NUM(f) is changed: TIMESTAMP used to be parsable as a number without quotes (when it was formatted as
"YYYYMMDDhhmmss"); but it is not anymore (now that it is "YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss"), so it should not have NUM_FLAG
(mysqldump needs to quote TIMESTAMP values), so IS_NUM() should return false for it.
libmysqld/lib_sql.cc:
use IS_NUM() instead of INTERNAL_NUM_FIELD()

DECIMAL columns are not quoted anymore by mysqldump. Which is ok, the parser does not need '' for them
