The client software ought to be range-checking the data before sending it to
the database.  If the client isn't even doing that kind of minimal-effort
check, how likely is it to be checking for exceptions?

That's not to say that an error or exception is a bad idea, but MySQL may be
constrained here by what the SQL standard says to do; I'm not sure.
