Dear MySQL fans, I tested CONCAT() with binary strings and I got strange result.
Manual says: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/string-functions.html If the arguments include any binary strings, the result is a binary string. But the following test says: bianry + latin1 ----> latin1 (not bianry) mysql> SELECT CHARSET(CONCAT(_binary'Bianry',CONVERT('abc' USING latin1))); +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | CHARSET(CONCAT(_binary'Bianry',CONVERT('abc' USING latin1))) | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | latin1 | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) ------------------------------------------------------------ Hirofumi Fujiwara (Tokyo JAPAN) enjoy JAVA and Puzzle World [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pro.or.jp/~fuji/index-eng.html [EMAIL PROTECTED] Puzzle Japan http://www.puzzle.jp/ ------------------------------------------------------------ My SUDOKU Probs http://www.pro.or.jp/~fuji/sudoku/problems/ ------------------------------------------------------------ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
