17 May 2024 por Alan

The strict mode in MySQL or MariaDB is a mode that limits us and does not allow us to carry out bad practices, such as inserting many characters when the limit is low in a certain field. Doing this can have two consequences depending on the version we use, for example it can cut our data and show a warning, or the declaration will not be executed
