mysql in 引号_使用'in'运算符的MySQL查询：为什么带有引号的结果不同？

I've tracked down a weird MySQL problem to the two different ways I was performing a query. When you boil everything down, this way returns more results:

SELECT DISTINCT FROM

WHERE promo_detail_store_id in (8214, 8217, 4952, 8194, ...)

This change to the WHERE clause produces a subset of those results:

WHERE promo_detail_store_id in ('8214, 8217, 4952, 8194, ...')

(promo_detail_store_id is defined as a BIGINT in a MyISAM table.)

Originally that list of store_ids was much longer, and I started cutting it shorter and shorter thinking maybe there was some weird limits on the length of a string. But no, it holds for quite small strings/lists too. Clearly something is going on behind the scenes involving type coercion and maybe how the 'in' operator works. Can someone enlighten me?

WHERE promo_detail_store_id in (8214, 8217, 4952, 8194, ...)

means

WHERE promo_detail_store_id = 8214

OR promo_detail_store_id = 8217

OR promo_detail_store_id = 4952

OR promo_detail_store_id = 8194

OR ...

WHERE promo_detail_store_id in ('8214, 8217, 4952, 8194, ...')

means

WHERE promo_detail_store_id = '8214, 8217, 4952, 8194, ...'

'8214, 8217, 4952, 8194, ...' will cast to number to be 8214, so it will be

WHERE promo_detail_store_id = 8214
