    Description

      I set the config "query_cache_size=1355776" and "query_cache_type=1" in the config file in order to use Query_cache. However, for the same "Select *" operation, the Query_cache failed to identify them and stores the redundant queries, after I change the option "time_zone" on the fly. It is not reasonable because the "Selected" table/rows are not time type or date type;
      time_zone should not affect the query result.

      Similar situations for "default_week_format" and "lc_time_names". Maybe Query_cacher should have a smart identification for redundant queries. It would be more efficient for Query_cache to identify them accurately.

      I put the test case and result followed.

      Test:

      set  time_zone = SYSTEM;
      reset query cache;
      flush status;
       
      create database if not exists mysqltest;
      create table mysqltest.t1 (i int not null);
      insert into mysqltest.t1 (i) values (1);
      show status like "Qcache_queries_in_cache";
       
      select * from mysqltest.t1 order by i;
      show status like "Qcache_queries_in_cache";
       
      set  time_zone = "+9:00";
      select * from mysqltest.t1 order by i;
      show status like "Qcache_queries_in_cache";
       
      select * from mysqltest.t1 order by i;
      show status like "Qcache_queries_in_cache";
      

      Result:

      set  time_zone = SYSTEM;
      reset query cache;
      flush status;
      create database if not exists mysqltest;
      create table mysqltest.t1 (i int not null);
      insert into mysqltest.t1 (i) values (1);
      show status like "Qcache_queries_in_cache";
      Variable_name	Value
      Qcache_queries_in_cache	0
      select * from mysqltest.t1 order by i;
      i
      1
      show status like "Qcache_queries_in_cache";
      Variable_name	Value
      Qcache_queries_in_cache	1
      set  time_zone = "+9:00";
      select * from mysqltest.t1 order by i;
      i
      1
      show status like "Qcache_queries_in_cache";
      Variable_name	Value
      Qcache_queries_in_cache	2
      select * from mysqltest.t1 order by i;
      i
      1
      show status like "Qcache_queries_in_cache";
      Variable_name	Value
      Qcache_queries_in_cache	2
      

      Suggested fix:
      time_zone should not affect the query result, which are not time type of date type.
