      /* init */ create table t(a int);
      /* init */ insert into t values (0), (1), (2);
       
      mariadb> select * from t where rand('test');

      |    2 |
      +------+
      2 rows in set, 1 warning (0.01 sec)
       
      mariadb> update t set a = + 1 where rand('test');
      ERROR 1292 (22007): Truncated incorrect INTEGER value: 'test'
      

      The function RAND() with a string type argument has different meanings in SELECT and UPDATE statements, which can cause inconsistent problems.
