    Description

      I create and populate a table like this:

      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1;
      CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1 (a TIME);
      INSERT INTO t1 VALUES ('00:00:10'),('00:00:20');
      

      Now I do some time arithmetic:

      SELECT a, SUBTIME(a,TIME'00:00:01'), ADDTIME(a,TIME'00:00:01') FROM t1;
      

      +----------+---------------------------+---------------------------+
      | a        | SUBTIME(a,TIME'00:00:01') | ADDTIME(a,TIME'00:00:01') |
      +----------+---------------------------+---------------------------+
      | 00:00:10 | 00:00:09                  | 00:00:11                  |
      | 00:00:20 | 00:00:19                  | 00:00:21                  |
      +----------+---------------------------+---------------------------+
      

      Now I put the same arithmetic expressions into WHERE:

      SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE SUBTIME(a,TIME'00:00:01')=TIME'00:00:09';
      

      +----------+
      | a        |
      +----------+
      | 00:00:10 |
      +----------+
      

      SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE ADDTIME(a,TIME'00:00:01')<=TIME'00:00:09'; 
      

      Empty set (0.01 sec)
      

      So far so good:

      • The first query correctly returned one row
      • The second query correctly returned empty set

      Now I mix these two conditions using AND and expect to get empty set again:

      SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE SUBTIME(a,TIME'00:00:01')=TIME'00:00:09' AND ADDTIME(a,TIME'00:00:01')<=TIME'00:00:09'; 
      

      +----------+
      | a        |
      +----------+
      | 00:00:10 |
      +----------+
      

      However, the server returned one row. This is wrong!

      The following EXPLAIN script demonstrates that the second condition part was erroneously eliminated by the optimizer:

      EXPLAIN EXTENDED SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE SUBTIME(a,TIME'00:00:01')=TIME'00:00:09' AND ADDTIME(a,TIME'00:00:01')<=TIME'00:00:09'; 
      SHOW WARNINGS;
      

      ...
      +-------+------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
      | Level | Code | Message                                                                                                       |
      +-------+------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
      | Note  | 1003 | select `test`.`t1`.`a` AS `a` from `test`.`t1` where subtime(`test`.`t1`.`a`,TIME'00:00:01') = TIME'00:00:09' |
      +-------+------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
      

      Notice, there is no the ADDTIME() condition in the optimzed query.

      The problem happens because Item_func_add_time::func_name() erroneously always returns the same value, which makes the equal expression propagation code erroneously think ADDTIME() and SUBTIME() are equal to each other.

      Item_func_add_time::func_name() should return three different names depending on the exact SQL function it handles:

      • timestamp
      • addtime
      • subtime
