it worked before? sounds like a breaking change

cc @xiangjinwu to take a look. btw @cyliu0 can provide the table schema to you which is a customer scenario.

[xiangjinwu]

Note the following naming differences between MySQL and PostgreSQL (RisingWave):

• MySQL datetime is PostgreSQL timestamp (without time zone).
• MySQL timestamp is PostgreSQL timestamptz, which is number of s/ms/us passed since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 in UTC.

Unsupported function: cast(timestamp with time zone) -> timestamp without time zone

This looks like we are trying to insert a timestamptz (MySQL timestamp) into RisingWave timestamp, but there is no context on which time zone to use for this conversion. Is the conversion expected or accidental?

[cyliu0]

@xiangjinwu But we have run this case for the past months. It never failed because of this. You can check the build history on the buildkite.

And we never use MySQL timestamp in the upstream tables according to the upstream table schemas https://github.com/risingwavelabs/kube-bench/blob/main/manifests/wide-table/wide-table-sql.template.yaml#L7-L1246.

And there is no timestamptz in source table schemas as well. You can check the source tables in the same file above.

[xiangjinwu]

Thanks for sharing the schema, which is mapping from MySQL datetime to RisingWave timestamp (without time zone) correctly. There should be no timestamp with time zone at all during this test. @StrikeW Is there any related change in MySQL CDC logic in the past 2 months?
