mysql时间运算
一.时间相减发现与结果差距很大
mysql> select t1,t2,t2-t1 from mytest;
+---------------------+---------------------+-------+
| t1 | t2 | t2-t1 |
+---------------------+---------------------+-------+
| 2013-04-21 16:59:33 | 2013-04-21 16:59:43 | 10 |
| 2013-04-21 16:59:33 | 2013-04-21 17:00:33 | 4100 |
| 2013-04-21 16:59:33 | 2013-04-21 17:59:35 | 10002 |
+---------------------+---------------------+-------+
3 rows in set
明显:
第一条正确,第二三条不正确;
二.原因
实际上:
mysql的时间相减是做了一个隐式转换操作，将时间转换为整数，但并不是用unix_timestamp转换，
而是直接把年月日时分秒拼起来，如2013-04-21 16:59:33 直接转换为20130421165933，
由于时间不是十进制，所以最后得到的结果没有意义，这也是导致上面出现坑爹的结果。
mysql> select t1,
t2,
convert(t1, UNSIGNED INTEGER) ct1,
convert(t2, UNSIGNED INTEGER) ct2,
t2-t1,
convert(t2, UNSIGNED INTEGER) -convert(t1, UNSIGNED INTEGER) diff0
from mytest;
+-------------------+-------------------+--------------+--------------+-----+-----+
|t1 |t2 |ct1 |ct2 |t2-t1|diff0|
+-------------------+-------------------+--------------+--------------+-----+-----+
|2013-04-21 16:59:33|2013-04-21 16:59:43|20130421165933|20130421165943| 10| 10|
|2013-04-21 16:59:33|2013-04-21 17:00:33|20130421165933|20130421170033| 4100| 4100|
|2013-04-21 16:59:33|2013-04-21 17:59:35|20130421165933|20130421175935|10002|10002|
+-------------------+-------------------+--------------+--------------+-----+-----+

三.正确的运算
3种方法：
- time_to_sec(timediff(t2, t1))
- timestampdiff(second, t1, t2)
- unix_timestamp(t2) -unix_timestamp(t1)
mysql> select t1,
t2,
t2-t1,
time_to_sec(timediff(t2, t1)) diff1,
timestampdiff(second, t1, t2) diff2,
unix_timestamp(t2) -unix_timestamp(t1) diff3
from mytest;
+---------------------+---------------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| t1 | t2 | t2-t1 | diff1 | diff2 | diff3 |
+---------------------+---------------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| 2013-04-21 16:59:33 | 2013-04-21 16:59:43 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 |
| 2013-04-21 16:59:33 | 2013-04-21 17:00:33 | 4100 | 60 | 60 | 60 |
| 2013-04-21 16:59:33 | 2013-04-21 17:59:35 | 10002 | 3602 | 3602 | 3602 |
+---------------------+---------------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+

mysql官方并不认为是bug，因为他们认为mysql并不支持时间直接相减操作，应该用专用函数处理;
所以不会修复;有这部分操作的时候留意一下;
