MySQL will return NULL as the output if any of the argument of CONV() function is NULL or if the value provided for the base is out of limit(i.e. not between minimum 2 and maximum 36).

Actually, we need to perform flush-privileges operation to tell the server to reload the grant tables. This can be done by issuing FLUSH PRIVILEGES statement or by executing a mysqladmin flush-privileges or mysqladmin reload command. FLUSH PRIVILEGES is really needed if we modify the grant tables directly using such as INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE, the changes have no effect on privileges checking until we either restart the server or tell it to reload the tables. But, Privileges assigned through GRANT choice don't want FLUSH PRIVILEGES to take effect - MySQL server cannotice these changes and reload the grant tables instantly. ...

Suppose if we are calculating the sum of the values of a column which also have NULL values then MySQL SUM() function ignores the NULL values and does the sum of the rest of the values.

Actually, MySQL has different comparison rules for quoted values such as strings and unquoted values such as numbers. On mixing the quoted and unquoted values in IN() function list may lead to the inconsistent result set. For example, we must not write the query with IN() function like below − Select Salary from employee where ID IN(1,’a’,2,3,’c’) Instead of this the better way to write the above query is as follows − Select Salary from employee where ID IN(‘1’,’a’,’2’,’3’,’c’)
