A new question has been posted in the Knowledgebase: http://kb.askmonty.org/en/locking-sql_mode-against-client-changes ==================== Is there any way for locking out sql_mode against client-side changes other than MySQL Proxy (which does not allow for SSL connections)? Perhaps some MariaDB-specific setting? ==================== Thanks. -- Daniel Bartholomew MariaDB - http://mariadb.org Monty Program - http://montyprogram.com AskMonty Knowledgebase - http://kb.askmonty.org
