Description:
When used in a view, weekday function is changed from weekday(field) to weekday(to_date(field)) and then null is returned when the view is used.

How to repeat:
CREATE TABLE tblDates (
  `Date` date NOT NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

INSERT INTO tblDates
VALUES('2005-09-05'), ('2005-09-06');

CREATE VIEW vDates AS
SELECT `Date`, WEEKDAY(`Date`) AS `Weekday`
FROM tblDates;

SELECT * FROM vDates;

SHOW CREATE VIEW vDates;
