Hi List I have a table with a primary key with type binary(16) and a few columns. I'd trying to create a view that looks up all rows with a particular key, i.e. something like
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW foo AS SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE id = X'36a461c81cab40169791f49ad65a3728'; I use the mysql command line client to create the view. When I now inspect the view using, say, mysql workbench, the id has been mangled in the where clause which now reads WHERE (`mytable`.`id` = 0x9791f49ad65a37) I then tried expressing the id as something that will fit within 8 bytes WHERE id = X'36a461c81cab4016' << 16 | X'9791f49ad65a3728'; Unfortunately, this makes the query much slower. I have now worked around this in another way, but I'd like to know if there is a way of doing this? Thanks, /Martin Koch
