All,
See here for description of the STR_TO_DATE() function in MySQL:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_str-to-date
I believe this function is essentially worthless, given the myriad ways
in which Drizzle *already* matches strings to a Date, DateTime, or Time
expression.
If someone does actually have a datetime specification that lies outside
the realm of known expressions (all common datetime specifications plus
everything in ISO 8601:1988 is already covered), I believe they should
do it in the application layer.
I propose to rid Drizzle of this abomination and clear up a good 1100
lines of code.
Votes please. Does anyone actually use this function?
Not a bribe, but my temporal work will be completed a day ahead of time
if this function can die a quick (hopefully painless) death.
-jay
