How to make sql-mode=“NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION” permanent in MySQL my.cnf

Question

UPDATE FIXED 1/18/15

After we recently updated to MySQL 5.6.27 (from the Ubuntu repo), this option now works. So this appears to have been a problem with the previ

Answer 1

Woks fine for me on ubuntu 16.04. path: /etc/mysql/mysql.cnf

and paste that

[mysqld]
#
# * Basic Settings
#
sql_mode = "NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"

Answer 2

It should be:

[mysqld]
sql_mode=NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES

instead of

[mysqld]
sql_mode="NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"

then restart mysqld service.

Answer 3

For me it was a permission problem.

enter:

mysqld --verbose --help | grep -A 1 "Default options"

[Warning] World-writable config file '/etc/mysql/my.cnf' is ignored.

So try to execute the following, and then restart the server

chmod 644 '/etc/mysql/my.cnf'

It will give mysql access to read and write to the file.

Answer 4

[Fixed] Server version: 10.1.38-MariaDB - mariadb.org binary distribution

Go to: C:\xampp\mysql\bin open my.ini in notepad and find [mysqld] (line number 27) then after this line(line no 28) just type: skip-grant-tables

save the file and then reload the phpmyadmin page.It worked for me.

Answer 5

For me both keys for sql-mode worked. Whether I used

# dash no quotes
sql-mode=NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION

or

# underscore no quotes
sql_mode=NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION

in the my.ini file made no difference and both were accepted, as far as I could test it.

What actually made a difference was a missing newline at the end of the my.ini file.

So everyone having problems with this or similar problems with my.ini/my.cnf: Make sure there is a blank line at the end of the file!

Tested using MySQL 5.7.27.

Answer 6

My problem was that I had spaces in between the options on 5.7.20. Removing them so the line looked like

[mysqld]
sql-mode=STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION
