DRDS 支持一个位函数，即 BIT_COUNT()，其返回参数对应的二进制数中1的个数；若参数为NULL，则返回NULL。

mysql> SELECT BIT_COUNT(29), BIT_COUNT(b'101010');
+--------------+----------------------+
| BIT_COUNT(29) | BIT_COUNT(b'101010') |
+--------------+----------------------+
|            4 |                    3 |
+--------------+----------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> SELECT BIT_COUNT(NULL);
+-----------------+
| BIT_COUNT(NULL) |
+-----------------+
|            NULL |
+-----------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
