PARTITION BY KEY(..) can contain any type of fields (excepts BLOB's and for MySQL Cluster some other special exceptions). The function in this case is actually a MySQL defined hash function which will always return an integer value, thus ok.

Description: I can create a table partitioned by key(), where the primary key is a CHAR column. LIKE searches on this table fail. How to repeat: mysql> create table tm1 (s1 char(32) primary key) partition by key() partitions 100; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.08 sec) mysql> insert into tm1 values ('na'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.04 sec) mysql> select * from tm1 where s1 like 'n%'; Empty set (0.00 sec)
