(4.1 version, with post-review fixes)
The fix for another Bug (6439) limited FROM_UNIXTIME() to
TIMESTAMP_MAX_VALUE which is 2145916799 or 2037-12-01 23:59:59 GMT,
however unix timestamp in general is not considered to be limited
by this value. All dates up to power(2,31)-1 are valid.
This patch extends allowed TIMESTAMP range so, that max
TIMESTAMP value is power(2,31)-1. It also corrects
FROM_UNIXTIME() and UNIX_TIMESTAMP() functions, so that
max allowed UNIX_TIMESTAMP() is power(2,31)-1. FROM_UNIXTIME()
is fixed accordingly to allow conversion of dates up to
2038-01-19 03:14:07 UTC. The patch also fixes CONVERT_TZ()
function to allow extended range of dates.
The main problem solved in the patch is possible overflows
of variables, used in broken-time representation to time_t
conversion (required for UNIX_TIMESTAMP).
- bug #11655 "Wrong time is returning from nested selects - maximum time exists
- input and output TIME values were not validated properly in several conversion functions
- bug #20927 "sec_to_time treats big unsigned as signed"
- integer overflows were not checked in several functions. As a result, input values like 2^32 or 3600*2^32 were treated as 0
- BIGINT UNSIGNED values were treated as SIGNED in several functions
- in cases where both input string truncation and out-of-range TIME value occur, only 'truncated incorrect time value' warning was produced
- Type casting was not consequent, thus when adding a DATE type with
a WEEK interval the result type was DATETIME and not DATE as is the
norm.
- By changing the order of the date internal enumerations the deviant
type casting is resolved (Item_date_add_interval::fix_length_and_dec()
which determines result type for this operation assumes that addition
of any interval with value <= INTERVAL_DAY to date value will result
in date). There are two independant places to change:
interval_names[] and interval_type.
Fix when __attribute__() is stubbed out, add ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT() for specifying
__attribute__((format(...))) safely, make more use of the format attribute,
and fix some of the warnings that this turns up (plus a bonus unrelated one).
time_format() claimed %H and %k would return at most two digits
(hours 0-23), but this coincided neither with actual behaviour
nor with docs. this is not visible in simple queries; forcing
a temp-table is probably the easiest way to see this. adjusted
the return-length appropriately; the alternative would be to
adjust the docs to say that behaviour for > 99 hours is undefined.

Bug#19844: time_format in Union truncates values
time_format() claimed %H and %k would return at most two digits
(hours 0-23), but this coincided neither with actual behaviour
nor with docs. this is not visible in simple queries; forcing
a temp-table is probably the easiest way to see this. adjusted
the return-length appropriately; the alternative would be to
adjust the docs to say that behaviour for > 99 hours is undefined.
str_to_date() would sometimes render NULL if %D was used as rule other than last.
since this was due to two pointers getting mixed up in the server, this behaviour
seemed somewhat non-deterministic at SQL level.
difference between timestamp in values of months and quarters.)
Problem: when requesting timestamp diff in months or quarters, it
would only examine the date (and not the time) for the comparison.
Solution: increased precision of comparison.
can lead to a wrong result.
All date/time functions has the STRING result type thus their results are
compared as strings. The string date representation allows a user to skip
some of leading zeros. This can lead to wrong comparison result if a date/time
function result is compared to such a string constant.
The idea behind this bug fix is to compare results of date/time functions
and data/time constants as ints, because that date/time representation is
more exact. To achieve this the agg_cmp_type() is changed to take in the
account that a date/time field or an date/time item should be compared
as ints.
This bug fix is partially back ported from 5.0.
The agg_cmp_type() function now accepts THD as one of parameters.
In addition, it now checks if a date/time field/function is present in the
list. If so, it tries to coerce all constants to INT to make date/time
comparison return correct result. The field for the constant coercion is
taken from the Item_field or constructed from the Item_func. In latter case
the constructed field will be freed after conversion of all constant items.
Otherwise the result is same as before - aggregated with help of the
item_cmp_type() function.
From the Item_func_between::fix_length_and_dec() function removed the part
which was converting date/time constants to int if possible. Now this is
done by the agg_cmp_type() function.
The new function result_as_longlong() is added to the Item class.
It indicates that the item is a date/time item and result of it can be
compared as int. Such items are date/time fields/functions.
Correct val_int() methods are implemented for classes Item_date_typecast,
Item_func_makedate, Item_time_typecast, Item_datetime_typecast. All these
classes are derived from Item_str_func and Item_str_func::val_int() converts
its string value to int without regard to the date/time type of these items.
Arg_comparator::set_compare_func() and Arg_comparator::set_cmp_func()
functions are changed to substitute result type of an item with the INT_RESULT
if the item is a date/time item and another item is a constant. This is done
to get a correct result of comparisons like date_time_function() = string_constant.
itself when executing queries referring to a view with GROUP BY
an expression containing non-constant interval.
It happened because Item_date_add_interval::eq neglected the
fact that the method can be applied to an expression of the form
date(col) + interval time_to_sec(col) second
at the time when col could not be evaluated yet.
An attempt to evaluate time_to_sec(col) in this method resulted
in a crash.
Conversion from int and real numbers to UCS2 didn't work fine:
CONVERT(100, CHAR(50) UNICODE)
CONVERT(103.9, CHAR(50) UNICODE)
The problem appeared because numbers have binary charset, so,
simple charset recast binary->ucs2 was performed
instead of real conversion.
Fixed to make numbers pretend to be non-binary.
time per connection
Removed const_string() method from Item_string (it was only used in one
place, in a bad way). Defer possible SP variable, and access data directly
instead, in date_format item.
fix for bug #15828 after review
doing val_str now before testing of null value secures the function for null values returned by dynamic functions - the fix before was incomplete andy covered constant null values
