    Description

      I run this script in Linux console:

      SET sql_mode='';
      SET NAMES utf8;
      CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1 AS SELECT COALESCE('ßa',_binary 'a');
      SHOW WARNINGS;
      SELECT * FROM t1;
      SHOW CREATE TABLE t1;
      

      Notice, it returns a warning:

      +---------+------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
      | Level   | Code | Message                                                          |
      +---------+------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
      | Warning | 1265 | Data truncated for column 'COALESCE('ßa',_binary 'a')' at row 1  |
      +---------+------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
      

      The data was indeed truncated:

      +-----------------------------+
      | COALESCE('ßa',_binary 'a')  |
      +-----------------------------+
      | ß                           |
      +-----------------------------+
      

      And the reason for truncation is a wrong field type:

      +-------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
      | Table | Create Table                                                                                                                |
      +-------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
      | t1    | CREATE TABLE `t1` (
        `COALESCE('ßa',_binary 'a')` varbinary(2) NOT NULL DEFAULT ''
      ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1  |
      +-------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
      

      It should create VARBINARY(3):

      SELECT OCTET_LENGTH('ßa');
      

      +---------------------+
      | OCTET_LENGTH('ßa')  |
      +---------------------+
      |                   3 |
      +---------------------+
