      Binlog stores field->type() as type code by default. For example,
      it puts MYSQL_TYPE_STRING in case of CHAR, VARCHAR, SET and ENUM,
      with extra data type details put into metadata.

      Binlog behaviour slightly differs between various MySQL and MariaDB
      versions for the temporal data types TIME, DATETIME and TIMESTAMP.

      MySQL prior to 5.6 uses MYSQL_TYPE_TIME, MYSQL_TYPE_DATETIME 
      and MYSQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP type codes in binlog and stores no 
      additional metadata.

      MariaDB-5.3 implements new versions for TIME, DATATIME, TIMESTAMP
      with fractional second precision, but uses the old format for the
      types TIME(0), DATETIME(0), TIMESTAMP(0), and it still stores
      MYSQL_TYPE_TIME, MYSQL_TYPE_DATETIME and MYSQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP in binlog,
      with no additional metadata.
      So row-based replication between temporal data types of
      different precision is not possible in MariaDB.

      MySQL-5.6 also implements a new version of TIME, DATETIME, TIMESTAMP
      which support fractional second precision 0..6, and use the new
      format even for the types TIME(0), DATETIME(0), TIMESTAMP(0).
      For these new data types, MySQL-5.6 stores new type codes 
      MYSQL_TYPE_TIME2, MYSQL_TYPE_DATETIME2, MYSQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP2 in binlog,
      with fractional precision 0..6 put into metadata.
      This makes it in theory possible to do row-based replication between
      columns of different fractional precision (e.g. from TIME(1) on master
      to TIME(6) on slave). However, it's not currently fully implemented yet.
      MySQL-5.6 can only do row-based replication from the old types
      TIME, DATETIME, TIMESTAMP (represented by MYSQL_TYPE_TIME,
      MYSQL_TYPE_DATETIME and MYSQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP type codes in binlog)
      to the new corresponding types TIME(0), DATETIME(0), TIMESTAMP(0).

      Note: MariaDB starting from the version 10.0 understands the new
      MySQL-5.6 type codes MYSQL_TYPE_TIME2, MYSQL_TYPE_DATETIME2,
      MYSQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP2. When started over MySQL-5.6 tables both on
      master and on slave, MariaDB-10.0 can also do row-based replication
      from the old types TIME, DATETIME, TIMESTAMP to the new MySQL-5.6
      types TIME(0), DATETIME(0), TIMESTAMP(0).

      Note: perhaps binlog should eventually be modified to store
      real_type() instead of type() for all column types.

    DESCRIPTION
      This function makes a copy of field part of size equal to or

      For fields of string types (CHAR, VARCHAR, TEXT) the rest of buffer
      is padded by zero byte.

    NOTES
      For variable length character fields (i.e. UTF-8) the "length"
      parameter means a number of output buffer bytes as if all field
      characters have maximal possible size (mbmaxlen). In the other words,
      "length" parameter is a number of characters multiplied by
      field_charset->mbmaxlen.
