SQL function toTimeZone() converts a Date or DateTime into another timezone. The problem is that the timezone is part of the Date / DateTime type but not part of the value representation. This led to the fact that toTimeZone() with non-const timezones produced wrong and misleading results until #48471 (shipped with v23.4) enforced a const timezone.

Unfortunately, #48471 also broke existing table definitions with non-const timezone expressions, e.g. in ALIAS. So while #48471 addressed the issue appropriately, it is backwards-incompatible.

This PR adds setting allow_nonconst_timezone_arguments to achieve the old behavior for toTimeZone() and a few other functions + adds the setting to the compat profile.

Changelog category (leave one):

  • Bug Fix (user-visible misbehavior in an official stable release)

Changelog entry (a user-readable short description of the changes that goes to CHANGELOG.md):

Added setting allow_nonconst_timezone_arguments to toggle whether const time zone arguments in SQL functions are allowed or not

This is an automated comment for commit 6bdbcd3 with description of existing statuses. It's updated for the latest CI running
The full report is available here
The overall status of the commit is 🟡 pending

Check nameDescriptionStatus
AST fuzzerRuns randomly generated queries to catch program errors. The build type is optionally given in parenthesis. If it fails, ask a maintainer for help🟢 success
Bugfix validate checkChecks that either a new test (functional or integration) or there some changed tests that fail with the binary built on master branch🟢 success
CI runningA meta-check that indicates the running CI. Normally, it's in success or pending state. The failed status indicates some problems with the PR🟡 pending
ClickHouse build checkBuilds ClickHouse in various configurations for use in further steps. You have to fix the builds that fail. Build logs often has enough information to fix the error, but you might have to reproduce the failure locally. The cmake options can be found in the build log, grepping for cmake. Use these options and follow the general build process🟢 success
Compatibility checkChecks that clickhouse binary runs on distributions with old libc versions. If it fails, ask a maintainer for help🟢 success
Docker image for serversThe check to build and optionally push the mentioned image to docker hub🟢 success
Fast testNormally this is the first check that is ran for a PR. It builds ClickHouse and runs most of stateless functional tests, omitting some. If it fails, further checks are not started until it is fixed. Look at the report to see which tests fail, then reproduce the failure locally as described here🟢 success
Flaky testsChecks if new added or modified tests are flaky by running them repeatedly, in parallel, with more randomization. Functional tests are run 100 times with address sanitizer, and additional randomization of thread scheduling. Integrational tests are run up to 10 times. If at least once a new test has failed, or was too long, this check will be red. We don't allow flaky tests, read the doc🟢 success
Install packagesChecks that the built packages are installable in a clear environment🟢 success
Integration testsThe integration tests report. In parenthesis the package type is given, and in square brackets are the optional part/total tests🟢 success
Mergeable CheckChecks if all other necessary checks are successful🟢 success
Performance ComparisonMeasure changes in query performance. The performance test report is described in detail here. In square brackets are the optional part/total tests🟢 success
Push to DockerhubThe check for building and pushing the CI related docker images to docker hub🟢 success
SQLancerFuzzing tests that detect logical bugs with SQLancer tool🟢 success
SqllogicRun clickhouse on the sqllogic test set against sqlite and checks that all statements are passed🟢 success
Stateful testsRuns stateful functional tests for ClickHouse binaries built in various configurations -- release, debug, with sanitizers, etc🟢 success
Stateless testsRuns stateless functional tests for ClickHouse binaries built in various configurations -- release, debug, with sanitizers, etc🟢 success
Stress testRuns stateless functional tests concurrently from several clients to detect concurrency-related errors🟢 success
Style CheckRuns a set of checks to keep the code style clean. If some of tests failed, see the related log from the report🟢 success
Unit testsRuns the unit tests for different release types🟢 success
Upgrade checkRuns stress tests on server version from last release and then tries to upgrade it to the version from the PR. It checks if the new server can successfully startup without any errors, crashes or sanitizer asserts🟢 success

SQL function toTimezone() converts a Date or DateTime into another
timezone. The problem is that the timezone is part of the Date /
DateTime type but not part of the internal representation (value). This
led to the fact that toTimeZone() wqith non-const timezones produced
wrong and misleading results until ClickHouse#48471 (shipped with v23.4) enforced
a const timezone.

Unfortunately, this PR also broke existing table definitions with
non-const timezones, e.g. in ALIAS expressions. So while ClickHouse#48471
addressed the issue appropriately, it is really backwards-incompatible.

This PR adds a setting to toggle the behavior and makes it also part of
the compatibility profile.

Should we backport it to 23.4 and 23.5?
