Description:
Hello,
Dear MySQL veification team, I find that MySQL validates timezone-dependent expressions incorrectly while creating a partitioned-table.
Please reference to `How to repeat` part for detail, which is tested with MySQL8.0.22.
Here are some problems about the testment:
(1) While creating table `t1`, column `insn_dt_tm` is used as partitioned-column, and it's timezone-dependent, so MySQL gives an error, right?
(2) While creating table `t2`, column `insn_dt_tm` is also used as partitioned-column, but default expression of column insn_dt_tm is designed as `default now()` instead of `default (now())` in `t1`, as a result I create `t2` successfully. It's very strange, right?
(3) While creating table `t3`, column `acg_dt` is used as partitioned-column, and partitioning has no business with column `acg_dt`, and as a result table `t3` is created successfully.
(4) While creating table `t4`, I change default expression of column `insn_dt_tm` from `default now()` to `default (now())` comparing with `t3`, as a result an error is given from MySQL. But partitioning has no business with column `acg_dt`, why an error is given?
So, I think problem (2) and problem (4) are needed to be consisdered.
