mysql时间相减-时间运算-转换毫秒值的问题

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|
+-------------------+-------------------+--------------+--------------+-----+-----+
3 rows in set

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;
