    Description

      Conversion to DATETIME for comparison from other data types works differently, both in terms of the result and in terms of warnings generated.

      Summary:

      • Implicit conversion never returns warnings
      • Explicit conversion always returns a warning
      • Implicit conversion always returns zero datetime
      • Explicit conversion mostly returns zero datetime, but TIME-to-DATETIME returns NULL

      Implicit conversion from TIME to DATETIME - zero datetime without warnings

      SET sql_mode='NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE';
      SET old_mode=ZERO_DATE_TIME_CAST;
      SELECT TIMESTAMP'2001-01-01 00:00:00' > TIME'00:00:00';

      +-------------------------------------------------+
      1 row in set (0.00 sec)
      

      Implicit conversion from VARCHAR to DATETIME - zero datetime without warnings
