The functions also works on TIME, DATE or TIMESTAMP variables or constants (as they contain unix-timestamps).

• NOTE: If you are using any of those new functions, variables or constants, it is required that all clients of your database update to this version. Otherwise, functions might fail due to lack of runtime support for the new functions.
