Hi, Is there any difference between _binary'Binary' and CONVERT('Binary' USING binary)
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) mysql> SELECT CHARSET(CONCAT(CONVERT('Bianry' USING binary),CONVERT('abc' USING latin1))); +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | CHARSET(CONCAT(CONVERT('Bianry' USING binary),CONVERT('abc' USING latin1))) | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | binary | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) In Japan, we have to use many kinds of character set. eucjpms,ujis for unix cp932,sjis for Windows utf8 for Java, MySQL meta data So, it's a very complicated world. > Hi there, > > I tried a few other queries: > > first, confirm that what you think is a binary is indeed a binary: > > mysql> SELECT CHARSET(_binary'Binary'); > +--------------------------+ > | CHARSET(_binary'Binary') | > +--------------------------+ > | binary | > +--------------------------+ > 1 row in set (0.00 sec) > > check the regular text (for completeness' sake) > > mysql> select charset ('binary'); > +--------------------+ > | charset ('binary') | > +--------------------+ > | latin1 | > +--------------------+ > 1 row in set (0.00 sec) > > OK, so concatenating the 2 should result in a binary according to the manual: > > 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) > > Hrm, I got the same result you did. > > However, > > mysql> SELECT CHARSET(CONCAT(_binary'Binary','foo')); > +------------------------------------------+ > | CHARSET(CONCAT((_binary'Binary'),'foo')) | > +------------------------------------------+ > | binary | > +------------------------------------------+ > 1 row in set (0.00 sec) > > works just fine.
