Feng Jin commented on FLINK-30924:
----------------------------------
[~martijnvisser] Yes, FROM_UNIXTIME should use the session time zone. But I
don't think we should use session time zone when convert bigint(timestamp
mills) to timestamp (TIMESTAMP WITH OUT TIMEZONE) .
when convert 0 to TIMESTAMP, we should alway get TIMESTAMP '1970-01-01
00:00:00' ?

> Key: FLINK-30924
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-30924
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Table SQL / API
> Affects Versions: 1.16.1
> Reporter: Feng Jin
> Priority: Major
>
> When casting to convert timestamp and bigint, the following exception is
> thrown:
> {code:java}
> //代码占位符
> org.apache.flink.table.api.ValidationException: The cast from NUMERIC type to
> TIMESTAMP type is not allowed. It's recommended to use
> TO_TIMESTAMP(FROM_UNIXTIME(numeric_col)) instead, note the numeric is in
> seconds.
> {code}
> However, the FROM_UNIXTIME function will use the local time zone for
> conversion, but the TO_TIMESTAMP function will not use the local time zone
> but will use the UTC time zone conversion, so that the actual result in the
> wrong result.
>
> The following is an example of the results of the test
> {code:java}
> //代码占位符
> Flink SQL> SET 'table.local-time-zone' = 'Asia/Shanghai';
> Flink SQL> select TO_TIMESTAMP(FROM_UNIXTIME(0));
> // result
> EXPR$0
> 1970-01-01 08:00:00.000
> {code}
>

> UNIX_TIMESTAMP(CAST(timestamp_col AS STRING)) has the same problem.
