关于JOIN使用不同类型的字段类型，数据库可能进行隐士转换，MYSQL ORACLE都是如此，
下面使用一个列子来看看，脚本如下：
mysql:
drop table testjoin1;
drop table testjoin2;
create table testjoin1(id int, name varchar(20));
create table testjoin2(id varchar(20),name varchar(20),key(id);
oracle:
drop table testjoin1;
drop table testjoin2;
create table testjoin1(id int,name varchar2(20));
create table testjoin2(id varchar(20),name varchar2(20));
create index test_id_2 on testjoin2(id);
insert into testjoin1 values(1,'gaopeng');
insert into testjoin1 values(2,'gaopeng');
insert into testjoin1 values(3,'gaopeng');
insert into testjoin1 values(4,'gaopeng');
insert into testjoin1 values(5,'gaopeng');
insert into testjoin2 values('1','gaopeng');
ORACLE中的隐士转换，
SQL> select /*+ use_nl(a b) ordered */ * from testjoin1 a join testjoin2 b on a.id=b.id ;
ID NAME ID NAME

MYSQL手册原文：
To retrieve rows from other tables when performing joins. MySQL can use indexes on columns more
efficiently if they are declared as the same type and size. In this context, VARCHARand CHARare
considered the same if they are declared as the same size. For example, VARCHAR(10)and CHAR(10)
are the same size, but VARCHAR(10)and CHAR(15)are not.
