Add DateTime64 regression test for text/binary epoch equality (Fixes …

[ansh0014]

Fix DateTime64 text vs binary epoch mismatch regression test (Issue #398)

Summary

Adds a regression test to verify that DateTime64 values inserted via text and binary paths represent the same microsecond epoch.

Problem

Issue #398 reported inconsistent behavior between:

• text insert path: INSERT ... VALUES ('2024-10-10 11:00:00')
• binary insert path: ColumnDateTime64::Append(epoch_microseconds)

For the same logical timestamp, both paths must produce identical epoch values.

Root Cause Context

The mismatch risk exists around DateTime64 interpretation boundaries (precision/timezone handling between insert paths). This PR introduces a guard test to prevent regressions.

Changes

• Added new unit test: DateTime64.Issue398_TextAndBinarySameEpoch
• File: ut/roundtrip_tests.cpp

Test behavior:

1. Creates temporary Memory table with DateTime64(6, 'UTC')
2. Inserts one row via text path
3. Inserts one row via binary path using explicit microsecond epoch
4. Verifies both rows map to identical toUnixTimestamp64Micro(...) values using SQL aggregation (count/min/max)

Why This Approach

• Avoids fragile row-index assumptions in callback handling.
• Keeps assertion deterministic and server-side.
• Minimal and focused change only in UT coverage.

Validation

Executed locally against isolated ClickHouse Docker instance:

build/ut/Debug/clickhouse-cpp-ut.exe --gtest_filter=DateTime64.Issue398_TextAndBinarySameEpoch

Result: Passed.

Scope / Non-goals

• No production client behavior changes in this PR.
• No unrelated test infra/auth default changes included.

Checklist

• Added regression UT
• Verified test passes locally
• Kept change scoped to issue
• No temporary artifacts included in commit (Testing/Temporary/*)

Fixes #398

Pull request overview

Adds coverage to guard against regressions where DateTime64 values inserted via text vs. binary paths resolve to different underlying epoch microseconds (Issue #398), and adds a corresponding check to the tests/simple runner.

Changes:

• Added a new gtest regression test DateTime64.Issue398_TextAndBinarySameEpoch validating server-side epoch equality.
• Added a tests/simple repro/check for Issue #398 and wired it into the simple test runner.
• Simplified tests/simple/main.cpp connection setup and main().

This test creates/drops a persistent table with a fixed name. If an assertion fails before the final DROP, the table will be left behind and can make subsequent test runs flaky (and can conflict under parallel test execution). Prefer using a TEMPORARY table (session-scoped) and/or a unique table name (e.g., with a UUID suffix), and ensure cleanup via RAII/SCOPE_EXIT so it runs even on ASSERT failures.

The default connection credentials were changed to user/password "test"/"test". This diverges from the rest of the repo’s test/bench setup (typically user "default" with empty password) and will fail against a standard local ClickHouse instance unless users set env vars. Recommend keeping the prior defaults (or at least matching the repo-wide convention) and only overriding via CLICKHOUSE_* env vars.

Suggested change

	options.SetUser(EnvOrDefault("CLICKHOUSE_USER", "test"));
	options.SetPassword(EnvOrDefault("CLICKHOUSE_PASSWORD", "test"));
	options.SetUser(EnvOrDefault("CLICKHOUSE_USER", "default"));
	options.SetPassword(EnvOrDefault("CLICKHOUSE_PASSWORD", ""));

This Issue398 check computes expected_micros using toDateTime64(...) without an explicit timezone and inserts into a DateTime64(6) column without timezone. That makes the check depend on server timezone and largely tautological (binary insert uses the same server-derived epoch), so it may not detect the original text-vs-binary timezone mismatch. To make this a meaningful guard, use an explicit timezone (e.g., DateTime64(6, 'UTC') and/or toDateTime64(..., 'UTC')) and compare the two inserted rows’ epochs against that expected value.

Port parsing uses std::stoul(...) and then static_cast<uint16_t>(...). If CLICKHOUSE_PORT is out of range, this will silently truncate to an unexpected port. Consider validating the parsed value is within [1, 65535] (and surfacing a clear error) before casting.

	clickhouse::ClientOptions options;
	options.SetHost(EnvOrDefault("CLICKHOUSE_HOST", "127.0.0.1"));

	options.SetUser(EnvOrDefault("CLICKHOUSE_USER", "test"));

	const std::string port_str = EnvOrDefault(name, fallback);
	size_t parsed = 0;
	const unsigned long port = std::stoul(port_str, &parsed);
	if (parsed != port_str.size()) {
	throw std::invalid_argument(std::string(name) + " must be a valid integer port number");

PR description states the change is scoped to adding a regression UT in ut/roundtrip_tests.cpp, but this PR also modifies tests/simple/main.cpp (adds a new check and rewrites main()/connection defaults). If those changes are intended, please update the PR description/scope; otherwise consider splitting them into a separate PR to keep the regression-test change focused.
