must be kidding.. of course its a bug !! The docs clearly state as "The encryption returns binary string" and if you notice function discussed here is for Decryption...
Refer : http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/encryption-functions.html#function_aes-encrypt It clearly says, "AES_DECRYPT() decrypts the encrypted string and returns the original string." If AES_DECRYPT returns plain string and UPPER, LOWER, LCASE etc functions are accepting plain string as parameter then it must behave the way Philip mentioned... I personally spent 4-5 hours figuring out what can I do to make it work right but nothing... I want to apply it in search functionality but data is encrypted using AES_ENCRYPT.. so after decrypting when I try to bring both side of "=" in where condition to either lower or upper in order to give broader search result, it gives nothing expected... So Yes !! It is a bug for sure !! btw, Philip did you get any workaround for this problem ? As I have to limit my search to exact case match as of now which I don't want.. Any suggeston appreciated... Thanks Roberto Mansfield wrote: > > > The bug report is correct. This is not a bug.
