Probable duplicate in Bug#54856.
Description: Function ENCRYPT() returns a pure ASCII string (precisely, [a–zA–Z0–9./]), but it's reported as a binary string. How to repeat: $mysql --column-type-info test mysql> select encrypt('a'); Field 1: `encrypt('a')` Catalog: `def` Database: `` Table: `` Org_table: `` Type: VAR_STRING Collation: binary (63) Length: 13 Max_length: 13 Decimals: 31 Flags: BINARY +---------------+ | encrypt('a') | +---------------+ | 6IxbYURxo/7A. | +---------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) Suggested fix: Make ENCRYPT() return a character string, like the other similar encryption function do (e.g. md5).
