"when fetching the data from InnoDB, the server will allocate space for all VARCHAR columns" -- Please elaborate.
Are you referring to what happens if a tmp table is needed because of the complexity of the SELECT? In which case, I thought it turned VARCHAR into CHAR, thereby leading to 257 or 767 bytes in the MEMORY temp table versus being forced to use MyISAM (which is slower).
