MySQL function result reuse in expressions?

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/07/18

I love how Kris answers with these concise bits of SQL query results, this time about the sleep function and expression reuse of function results:

  1. [Wayback/Archive] Kris on Twitter: “libera/#mysql: “Hello! Does mysql reuse the result of expression evaluation during query execution?…”
    mysql> select sleep(1)+sleep(1) as s;
    +---+
    | s |
    +---+
    | 0 |
    +---+
    1 row in set (2.00 sec)
  2. [Wayback/Archive] Kris on Twitter: “… suggests an index on sleep
