Perhaps a casting function would help you:

If case-sensitivity isn't an issue, you may want to consider converting from char(8) binary to just char(8).

We've run into a problem where binary char column types crash our c++ application when migrating from RedHat 7.3 to RedHat ES. Is there a way to specify the data type to be returned in the select statement. In the below example, selecting office_id will crash the app if it's left as a binary column.
I'm looking for something like select char<office_id> from office;
create table office ( office_id char(8) binary not null, office_name varchar(50) );
Thanks!
