    Description

      I start mysql --column-type-info test and run this script:

      SET NAMES latin1;
      		 
      CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1 AS SELECT @:=1e0;
      		 
      SELECT * FROM t1;

      It reports the following metadata:

      Field   1:  `@:=1e0`
      		 
      Type:       DOUBLE
      		 
      Collation:  binary (63)
      		 
      Length:     3
      		 
      Max_length: 1
      		 
      Decimals:   31

      Now I run the same script, with latin1 changed to utf8:

      SET NAMES utf8;
      		 
      CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1 AS SELECT @:=1e0;
      		 
      SELECT * FROM t1;

      Metadata changes to:

      Field   1:  `@:=1e0`
      		 
      Type:       DOUBLE
      		 
      Collation:  binary (63)
      		 
      Length:     9
      		 
      Max_length: 1
      		 
      Decimals:   31

      Notice, it reports length as 3 and 9 for latin1 and utf8 session character sets respectively.
      Looks wrong. It should not depent on the session character set.
