How to reproduce
trigger — this will error
trigger — this will error
CREATE TABLE t (dt DATE) PARTITION BY RANGE COLUMNS(dt) (PARTITION p0 VALUES LESS THAN ('not-a-date'));

expected output

ERROR 3417 (HY000): Wrong partition value for column.

Fix

Use type-compatible values in COLUMNS partitioning

Use type-compatible values in COLUMNS partitioning
CREATE TABLE t (dt DATE) PARTITION BY RANGE COLUMNS(dt) (PARTITION p0 VALUES LESS THAN ('2024-01-01'), PARTITION p1 VALUES LESS THAN (MAXVALUE));

Why this works

Date literals in YYYY-MM-DD format are type-compatible with DATE columns.
