      Description

      SELECT NOW(257);

      Works the same way in MySQL 5.6. It seems harmless, just somewhat embarrassing, so unless it's a cool feature, maybe it makes sense to fix it some day.

      With columns it's different though:

      CREATE TABLE t (a DATETIME(257));
      ERROR 1426 (42000): Too big precision 257 specified for 'a'. Maximum is 6.
