Description:

when i create table  use varchar(255),i have two different results;

#way_1
select count(distinct uid)
from 
(SELECT distinct  uid FROM temp) as a;

different 

##way_2

SELECT count(distinct uid) FROM temp;

however , when  i create table use varchar(255),the way_1 is equal to way_2;

so magic

How to repeat:
mysql> drop table if exists temp;
create table temp
(uid varchar(255) null);
###load file
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE  'C:\\Users\\Acer\\Desktop\\uid_utf8.csv'
INTO TABLE temp  
CHARACTER SET utf8
fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '"' ESCAPED BY '"'
lines terminated by '\n'  ignore 1 lines;

+---------------------+
| count(distinct uid) |
+---------------------+
|               35758 |
+---------------------+
1 row in set

mysql> SELECT count(distinct uid) FROM temp;
+---------------------+
| count(distinct uid) |

Suggested fix:
i have laod file into baidu_server,you can download;

downloads:

https://pan.baidu.com/s/1c2xM0zI;

by the way:

when i create table use varcahr(64) ,the results i equal; but when i use varchar(255),i have two results;

i have to use varchar(255);

however , when  i create table use varchar(64),the way_1 is equal to way_2;

Thank you for the bug report. I couldn't repeat with recent source server:

c:\dbs>c:\dbs\5.7\bin\mysql -uroot --port=3570 -p --local-infile test  --prompt="mysql 5.7 > "
