User experience
What does the enhancement do?
Currently, when querying GreptimeDB through the MySQL CLI, timestamp rendering does not always respect the timestamp precision defined by the column schema. (Maybe pg cli also has this problem)
For example
create table
CREATE TABLE ts_precision_test (
ts_s TIMESTAMP(0),
ts_ms TIMESTAMP(3),
ts_us TIMESTAMP(6),
ts_ns TIMESTAMP(9),
v INT32,
TIME INDEX (ts_ms),
PRIMARY KEY (v)
);
insert data
INSERT INTO ts_precision_test VALUES (
'2026-06-02 03:50:00',
'2026-06-02 03:50:00.195',
'2026-06-02 03:50:00.195123',
'2026-06-02 03:50:00.195123456',
1
);
query data
SELECT * FROM ts_precision_test;
actual output
+---------------------+----------------------------+----------------------------+----------------------------+------+
| ts_s | ts_ms | ts_us | ts_ns | v |
+---------------------+----------------------------+----------------------------+----------------------------+------+
| 2026-06-02 03:50:00 | 2026-06-02 03:50:00.195000 | 2026-06-02 03:50:00.195123 | 2026-06-02 03:50:00.195123 | 1 |
+---------------------+----------------------------+----------------------------+----------------------------+------+
expected output
+---------------------+----------------------------+----------------------------+-------------------------------+------+
| ts_s | ts_ms | ts_us | ts_ns | v |
+---------------------+----------------------------+----------------------------+-------------------------------+------+
| 2026-06-02 03:50:00 | 2026-06-02 03:50:00.195 | 2026-06-02 03:50:00.195123 | 2026-06-02 03:50:00.195123456 | 1 |
