Do we have any lower and upper limit of base in MySQL CONV() function? What happens if out of limit base is provided in CONV() function?

The base must be greater than 2 and less than 36 i.e. the lower limit of a base is 2 and the upper limit is 36. It is applied to both from_base and to_base values. If in case we provide out of limit values of the base then MySQL returns NULL as the output. Following example will demonstrate it −

Example

mysql> Select CONV(10,10,38);

+----------------+
| CONV(10,10,38) |
+----------------+
| NULL           |
+----------------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> Select CONV(10,72,2);

+---------------+
| CONV(10,72,2) |
+---------------+
| NULL          |
+---------------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> Select CONV(10,10,1);

+---------------+
| CONV(10,10,1) |
+---------------+
| NULL          |
+---------------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)
