Let us take a closer look at MariaDB strict mode and how to enable it in a few simple steps. Bobcares answers all your questions on MariaDB as part of our Server Management Services
MariaDB
The Mariadb has numerous modes including the strict mode that allows users to adapt it to their specific needs. The most essential methods are to use SQL MODE (controlled by the sql mode system variable) and OLD MODE (controlled by the old mode system variable). SQL MODE instructs MariaDB to replicate the behavior of other SQL servers, whereas OLD MODE instructs MariaDB to emulate the behavior of older MariaDB or MySQL versions.
SQL MODE is a string with options separated by commas (‘,’) and no spaces. The choices are not case-sensitiveCheck it’s local and worldwide worth with:
SELECT @@SQL_MODE, @@GLOBAL.SQL_MODE;
Strict All Tables
MariaDB Strict mode; statements that include invalid or missing data are in rollback. For use with a non-transactional storage engine and a statement that affects several rows. This means a partial insert or update if the error is found in a row beyond the first.
Strict Trans Tables
Except for non-transactional storage engines and statements impacting many rows where the invalid or missing data is not the initial row. The statement containing invalid or missing data set in abort and rollback state. MariaDB will either convert the invalid value to the nearest valid value or insert the column default value if a value is absent. MariaDB 10.2.4 is the default.
Strict Mode
The Mariadb Strict mode is one that has at least one of STRICT TRANS TABLES or STRICT ALL TABLES enabled. After setting the strict mode, statements that edit tables fail, and an exception will return. When strict mode is enabled, the IGNORE keyword can be used to turn an error into a warning.
After the initiation of the strict mode, MariaDB will automatically adjust invalid values, such as truncating strings that are too lengthy or altering numeric values that are out of range, and will generate a warning. When adjusted, statements that do not affect data will return a warning regardless of mode.
sql mode – Get and Set sql mode (Strict Mode) Settings in MySQL
In the case of MariaDB, strict mode MySQL SQL mode specifies the SQL syntax that is supported, and MySQL performs data validation.
Syntax: SET [GLOBAL|SESSION] sql_mode='mode1,mode2, …'
Quick Example: SET sql_mode = 'ANSI_QUOTES,PIPES_AS_CONCAT';
Strict Mode: When STRICT_TRANS_TABLES or STRICT_ALL_TABLES is specified
MySQL Configuration: The user can set sql_mode in my.cnf (Unix), my.ini (Windows), or --sql-mode
Get and Set sql_mode
Getting the current sql mode value for finalizing the configurations on mariadb strict mode. Get the current value, which may have previously been modified by the SET SQL mode statement, executed in the current session SELECT @@sql_mode; Obtain the global value, which is unaffected by SET sql mode. SELECT @@GLOBAL.sql_mode;
Modify the current sql mode: SET sql_mode='STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,ANSI_QUOTES'; This is the final step in setting up the MariaDB strict mode.

Conclusion
To conclude, it is easy to enable the Mariadb strict mode. Statements that alter tables will fail when strict mode is enabled, and an error will be returned in their place.
