MySQL became "good enough for production use" through a process of redefinition -- lots of people use MySQL in production, so obviously it's good enough for them, right? Seriously though, it has improved, a lot, over the years, but there are still places where not only does it do something stupid and harmful, but it doesn't even consider it important enough to tell you that it happened. You've found one of those. Hopefully the "strict mode" business eliminates most of those problems, but you know as well as I that the people who need it most won't use it at all. :|

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
