Details

    Description

      ALTER..INPLACE does not work for BINARY data type

      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1;
      CREATE TABLE t1 (a BINARY(10));
      ALTER TABLE t1 MODIFY a BINARY(10), ALGORITHM=INPLACE;

      returns

      ERROR 1846 (0A000): ALGORITHM=INPLACE is not supported. Reason: Cannot change column type INPLACE. Try ALGORITHM=COPY.

      The same error happens for BLOB:

      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1;
      CREATE TABLE t1 (a BLOB);
      ALTER TABLE t1 MODIFY a BLOB, ALGORITHM=INPLACE;

      The same problem happens for GEOMETRY:

      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1;
      CREATE TABLE t1 (a GEOMETRY);
      ALTER TABLE t1 MODIFY a GEOMETRY, ALGORITHM=INPLACE;

      Note, it does work fine for VARBINARY:

      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1; CREATE TABLE t1 (a VARBINARY(10));
      ALTER TABLE t1 MODIFY a VARBINARY(10), ALGORITHM=INPLACE;
