Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.mysql.com/documentation/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.mysql.com/how-to-report.php Additional info: This is by design. MySQL performs automatic conversions where possible, which is also frequently taken advantage of as a security precaution.

Well. As you say, MySQL performs automatic conversions where possible. But, it is really a security leak to converse in this way. It will either cause applications not security enough or cause programmers to be confused while debuging. After all, maybe it's not a good idea.
