 Description   

Currently, the CONV function only supports conversion from a minimum base of 2 to a maximum base of 36.

It is desired to be able to support conversion for base 62 so conversion from base 62 to base 16 is possible.

Sorry for the late reply. Just finished my exams.
@Weijun Huang I was going to work over it, but I see you already submitted a PR, so no problem I will look for another issue to solve.

Thanks

I've re-written this patch so that it fits better into existing charset code. New PR opened: https://github.com/MariaDB/server/pull/2854
