    Description

      CREATE TABLE t1 AS SELECT DATE_ADD('2011-01-02 12:13:14', INTERVAL 1 MINUTE) AS a;
      SHOW COLUMNS FROM t1;

      correctly reports a VARCHAR column:

      +-------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
      | Field | Type        | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
      +-------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
      | a     | varchar(26) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
      +-------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+

      But "mysql --column-type-info" reports a wrong result:

      $ mysql --column-type-info
       
      MariaDB [(none)]> SELECT DATE_ADD('2011-01-02 12:13:14', INTERVAL 1 MINUTE);
      Field   1:  `DATE_ADD('2011-01-02 12:13:14', INTERVAL 1 MINUTE)`
      Type:       STRING
      Collation:  binary (63)
      Length:     26
      Max_length: 19
      Decimals:   31
      Flags:      BINARY 
      +----------------------------------------------------+
      | DATE_ADD('2011-01-02 12:13:14', INTERVAL 1 MINUTE) |
      +----------------------------------------------------+
      | 2011-01-02 12:14:14                                |
      +----------------------------------------------------+

      Notice, collation binary(63), which implies a VARBINARY column type,
      and which is wrong.

      MySQL-5.6 in the same scenario returns "Collation: utf8_general_ci (33)",
      which looks correct and corresponds to the connection character set ut8.
