Hello Monks,

If you insert a integer that is out of range in mysql it automaticly converts the integer to the nearest valid value.

If you have a mysql column with smallint and try to insert -32769, it automaticly inserts -32768 and throws a warning(according to the mysql documentation). How do i fetch this warnings with DBD::mysql?

In DBI its mentioned that a driver can write warnings to $DBI::errstr, but even though $sth->{mysql_warning_count} > 0 both $DBI::errstr and $DBI::err is empty. How to i fetch the warnings?

Thanks for any input!

Best regards
