mysql in varchar,MySQL意外结果：“IN” - 句子（number，'string'）在varchar列上

In MySQL, why does the following query return '----', '0', '000', 'AK3462', 'AL11111', 'C131521', 'TEST', etc.?

select varCharColumn from myTable where varCharColumn in (-1, '');

I get none of these results when I do:

select varCharColumn from myTable where varCharColumn in (-1);

select varCharColumn from myTable where varCharColumn in ('');

Note: I'm using MySQL version 5.0.45-log (show variables like "%version%";)

Note 2: I tried this on a number column as well, but I do not get unexpected results there.

解决方案You should never mix quoted and unquoted values in an IN list because the comparison rules for quoted values (such as strings) and unquoted values (such as numbers) differ. Mixing types may therefore lead to inconsistent results. For example, do not write an IN expression like this:

SELECT val1 FROM tbl1 WHERE val1 IN (1,2,'a');

Instead, write it like this:

SELECT val1 FROM tbl1 WHERE val1 IN ('1','2','a');
