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.
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.
if input year for date_add() / date_sub() with INTERVAL is low enough for
calc_daynr() to possibly return incorrect results (calc_daynr() has no information
on whether the year is low because it was a two-digit year ('77) or because it
was a really low four-digit year (0077) and will indiscriminately try to turn the
value into a four-digit year by adding 1900 or 2000 respectively), the functions
will now throw NULL.
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.
