If I were to go into my MySQL DB and mysql> SET GLOBAL sql_mode='STRICT_TRANS_TABLES';
would that have the same effect? I find the MySQL documentation <https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/sql-mode.html> somewhat lacking on that topic. What are the scope and lifetime of the above vs. using a listener as suggested by Michael?
