Bug #44399 : crash with statement using TEXT columns, aggregates, GROUP BY, and
HAVING When calculating GROUP BY the server caches some expressions. It does that by allocating a string slot (Item_copy_string) and assigning the value of the expression to it. This effectively means that the result type of the expression can be changed from whatever it was to a string. As this substitution takes place after the compile-time result type calculation for IN but before the run-time type calculations, it causes the type calculations in the IN function done at run time to get unexpected results different from what was prepared at compile time. In the CASE ... WHEN ... THEN ... statement there was a similar problem and it was solved by artificially adding a STRING argument to the set of types of the IN/CASE arguments at compile time, so if any of the arguments of the CASE function changes its type to a string it will still be covered by the information prepared at compile time.
