Side effect: the second debug Note in cache_temporal_4265.result disappeared.
Before this change:
- During JOIN::cache_const_exprs(),
Item::get_cache() for Item_date_add_interval() was called.
The data type for date_add('2001-01-01',interval 5 day) is VARCHAR,
because the first argument is VARCHAR (not temporal).
Item_get_cache() created Item_cache_str('2001-01-06').
- During evaluate_join_record(), get_datetime_value() was called,
which called Item::get_date() for Item_cache_str('2001-01-06').
This gave the second Note. Then, get_datetime_value() created
a new cache, now Item_cache_temporal for '2001-01-06', so not
further str_to_datetime() happened.
After this change:
- During tem_bool_rowready_func2::fix_length_and_dec(),
Arg_comparator::set_cmp_func_datetime() is called,
which immediately creates an instance of Item_cache_date for
the result of date_add('2001-01-01',interval 5 day).
So later no str_to_datetime happens any more,
neither during JOIN::cache_const_exprs(),
nor during evaluate_join_record().
special treatment for temporal values in
create_tmp_field_from_item().
old code only did it when result_type() was STRING_RESULT,
but Item_cache_temporal::result_type() is INT_RESULT
Flip the switch and create Item_cache based on the argument's cmp_type, not argument's result_type().
Fix subselect_engine to calculate cmp_type correctly
sql/item_subselect.h:
mdev:4284
get_datetime_value() should not double-cache its own Item_cache_temporal items,
but it *should* cache other Item_cache items, such as Item_cache_str.
sql/item.h:
shortcut, to avoid going through the switch in Item::cmp_type()
sql/item_cmpfunc.cc:
even if the item is Item_cache_str - it still needs to be converted and cached.
sql/item_timefunc.h:
all descendants of Item_temporal_func always have cmp_type==TIME_RESULT.
Even Item_date_add_interval, that might have field_type == MYSQL_TYPE_STRING.
