Hello all,
We are using an NOW() function in our database and occasionally it
produces odd results. There are entries where it states: 0000-00-00
00:00:00 instead of the current time. Is this a bug, or are we using the
function incorrectly?
MySQL version info:
mysql Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.26, for portbld-freebsd4.11 (i386)
Hum, the little devil is playing you tricks, uh ?
It's easier that NOW() didn't run at all instead of producing Jesus'
dates. Try a dummy insert on a dummy table just putting now() on a
column and see if any of them gets out zero. If some does, it's a bug on
MySQL, otherwise can be a problem while you're assembling your query.
mysql> use test; create table foo (a datetime);
bash$ for ((i=10000000; i; i--)); do echo "insert into foo values
(now())" | mysql test; done
myslq> use test; select * from dates where a = "0000-00-00 00:00:00";
Should return no results.
cheers,
