Comment (by shaib): If MySql has already made `STRICT_TRANS_TABLES` the default, I suggest we do the same. In a few versions, when MySql 5.5 and 5.6 reach EOL, we'll be there anyway. This comment is almost orthogonal to the solution of database checks, which is a generally needed feature. The only point of contact is the check for `STRICT_TRANS_TABLES` itself, since if we default to it, a user who explicitly chose otherwise doesn't need to be warned about their choice. -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/26351#comment:12> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
