select a,b as 'asd',@total:=@total+b from (select date(a) as a,sum(c) as b from test group by date(a)) as temp,(select @total:=0) as T1 order by a;

1. (select @total:=0) makes @total as int type
2. @total:=@total+b: b is decimal type, so + will call getVar.evalDecimal, but @total is actually a int value, so we got error here

A cast expr is missing for getVar, check how getVar is built, will not add cast, we should add cast when build getVar expr

This is variable related so changing sig to planner.

I tested it on MySQL:

use test;
create table test (a datetime, b bigint, c float);
insert into test values('2010-10-10 10:10:10', 100, 100.0);
SELECT @total := @total + c FROM (SELECT c FROM test) AS temp, (SELECT @total := 200) AS T1;

It outputted:

mysql> SELECT @total := @total + c FROM (SELECT c FROM test) AS temp, (SELECT @total := 200) AS T1;
+----------------------+
| @total := @total + c |
+----------------------+
|                  300 |
