mysqldump --as-of option ignores hour/minute precision

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      Whilst the --as-of option for mysqldump works correctly for dates, it does not work correctly for hour/minute precision.

      CREATE TABLE t1 (a INT) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING;
      SET TIMESTAMP=UNIX_TIMESTAMP('1990-01-01 00:00');
      INSERT t1 (a) VALUES (1),(2),(3);
      SET TIMESTAMP=UNIX_TIMESTAMP('1990-01-01 01:00');
      DELETE FROM t1 WHERE a=1;
      

      When dumped with:

      ./bin/mysqldump -uroot -S./socket.sock --compact --as-of="1990-01-01 00:01" test t1
      ./bin/mysqldump -uroot -S./socket.sock --compact --as-of="1990-01-01 01:01" test t1
      

      Will produce identical results - the 1 value will be missing.

      Similarly,

      CREATE TABLE t1 (a INT) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING;
      SET TIMESTAMP=UNIX_TIMESTAMP('1990-01-01 00:00');
      INSERT t1 (a) VALUES (1),(2),(3);
      SET TIMESTAMP=UNIX_TIMESTAMP('1990-01-02 01:00');
      DELETE FROM t1 WHERE a=1;
      

      When dumped with:

      ./bin/mysqldump -uroot -S./socket.sock --compact --as-of="1990-01-01 00:01" test t1
      ./bin/mysqldump -uroot -S./socket.sock --compact --as-of="1990-01-02 00:01" test t1
      

      Will produce different results - the 1 value will be missing in the second dump.

      There is no reference to "day" only in the manual though MDEV-16355 has a comment which refers to "to a specified date".

      Proposed fix: either the manual needs to be updated to clarify the limitation, or the feature fixed to correctly process timestamp comparison.
