From e7520c4b7ea7f4303f250636c37133be8237a2ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gleb Shchepa Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2008 15:13:12 +0500 Subject: Bug #39283: Date returned as VARBINARY to client for queries with COALESCE and JOIN The server returned to a client the VARBINARY column type instead of the DATE type for a result of the COALESCE, IFNULL, IF, CASE, GREATEST or LEAST functions if that result was filesorted in an anonymous temporary table during the query execution. For example: SELECT COALESCE(t1.date1, t2.date2) AS result FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.id ORDER BY result; To create a column of various date/time types in a temporary table the create_tmp_field_from_item() function uses the Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type() method call. However, fields of the MYSQL_TYPE_NEWDATE type were missed there, and the VARBINARY columns were created by default. Necessary condition has been added. --- sql/sql_select.cc | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'sql/sql_select.cc') diff --git a/sql/sql_select.cc b/sql/sql_select.cc index 6928effc1a5..7ff069f0996 100644 --- a/sql/sql_select.cc +++ b/sql/sql_select.cc @@ -8964,6 +8964,7 @@ static Field *create_tmp_field_from_item(THD *thd, Item *item, TABLE *table, */ if ((type= item->field_type()) == MYSQL_TYPE_DATETIME || type == MYSQL_TYPE_TIME || type == MYSQL_TYPE_DATE || + type == MYSQL_TYPE_NEWDATE || type == MYSQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP || type == MYSQL_TYPE_GEOMETRY) new_field= item->tmp_table_field_from_field_type(table); /* -- cgit v1.2.1
