The following problems are known and will be fixed in due time: [...] All string columns, except BLOB and TEXT columns, automatically have all trailing spaces removed when retrieved. For CHAR types this is okay, and may be regarded as a feature according to SQL-92. The bug is that in MySQL Server, VARCHAR columns are treated the same way.
That seems the reverse of what you are saying.

No, it´s not strange. Look the manual at http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Silent_column_changes.html
Yes, it's documented. But it still is strange.
CHAR should, according to the SQL specification, pad any value smaller than the defined number of characters with spaces when it returns the value to the client. VARCHAR doesn't.
So yes, it's strange. But you just have to live with it. I guess.

Hi,
It's really strange but when I execute the following statement, all my
char(10) columns turn into varchar(10). My other tables are ok and I've tried create dummy table also. Problem seems to be associated with this table only.
