          A similar problem is observed in this script:

          DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1;
          		 
          CREATE TABLE t1 (src BIT(8),a TEXT, b VARCHAR(10));
          		 
          INSERT INTO t1 (src) VALUES (123);
          		 
          UPDATE t1 SET a=src,b=src;
          		 
          SELECT a,b FROM t1;
          		 

          +------+------+
