Bug#11757005: UNION CONVERTS UNSIGNED MEDIUMINT AND BIGINT
TO SIGNED Problem: When we are joining types (of fields) in case of a union, we usually upgrade the datatypes to the largest present in the query. In case of mediumint, it is not happening. Analysis: When joined with types LONG and LONGLONG, mediumint should get upgraded to LONG and LONGLONG respectively. W.r.t the given query, constant '1' will be created as a LONGLONG internally and SIGNED flag is enabled. As a result, while combining types for the field, LONGLONG along with MEDIUMINT gets converted to LONG first. LONG with MEDIUMINT(of the third select) gets converted to MEDIUMINT. SIGNED FLAG would be that of the first field's. As a result, the final result would be SIGNED MEDIUMINT. Fix: While joining types, MEDIUMINT with LONGLONG and MEDIUMINT with LONG is converted to LONGLONG and LONG respectively. Also, made some changes for FLOAT and DOUBLE. sql/field.cc: Changed merge types for MEDIUMINT.
