Howdy all,
I've tried to search for an answer to this on the lists (and on google),
but I haven't been able to come up with anything, so I apologize in
advance if this question is redundant.
According to the docs (http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/SQL_mode.html):
"The MySQL server can operate in different SQL modes, and can apply
these modes differentially for different clients
"You can set...the SQL_MODE variable with SET [SESSION|GLOBAL]
SQL_MODE='modes' Setting the SESSION variable affects only the
current client You can retrieve the current mode by issuing a
SELECT @@sql_mode statement."
Okay, fair enough. My app needs ANSI (or at least PIPES_AS_CONCAT). So
here I go...

Huh? Was the documenation just plain lying to me? What gives? Any help
would be extremely appreciated.
