1. When mixing NULL to a character string,
the result takes its charset/collation attributes from the character string, e.g. SELECT func(NULL, _latin2'string') now returns a latin2 result. This is done by introducing a new derivation (aka coercibility) level DERIVATION_IGNORABLE, which is used with Item_null. 2. 'Pure' NULL is now BINARY(0), not CHAR(0). I.e. NULL is now more typeless.
