SET sql_mode=&#8217;STRICT_ALL_TABLES&#8217;; &#8212; Session scope for the purpose of this article
This sql_mode looked quite interesting, I&#8217;ve checked that in the MySQL documentation and well&#8230; it is a little bit terrifying.

The GIGO
Unfortunately too less programmers think about data that is stored [...]

Example:
&#62;&#62;&#62; string = 'lksfwioerx'
&#62;&#62;&#62; unicode = 'łóąśćńżźłę'
&#62;&#62;&#62; len(string)

20
