Description:
Hi!

I typed this statement as:

select UNIX_TIMESTAMP (NOW());

and it fails because there is a blank space after the UNIX_TIMESTAMP function name!

Please correct it!

How to repeat:
select UNIX_TIMESTAMP (NOW());

Suggested fix:
Don´t know!

Hi,

this is not a bug. You can use IGNORE_SPACE to avoid this behaviour:
