sql-mode

When I type mysql dbname at the bash prompt, I automatically connect to the database dbname with the username , password , and host information included in my .my.cnf file. When I use M-x sql-mysql in emacs, I am asked for all of this information again. Is there a way that I can get emacs sql mode to use the information in my .my.cnf file? I don't think that this is possible but you can set such stuff in the mode configuration itself: (setq sql-connection-alist '((pool-a (sql-product 'mysql) (sql-server "1.2.3.4") (sql-user "me") (sql-password "mypassword") (sql-database "thedb") (sql-port

Via the MySQL command line client, I am trying to set the global mysql_mode: SET GLOBAL sql_mode = TRADITIONAL; This works for the current session, but after I restart the server, the sql_mode goes back to its default: '', an empty string. How can I permanently set sql_mode to TRADITIONAL? If relevant, the MySQL is part of the WAMP package. Thank you. Add this to your my.cnf file (or my.ini if you're using windows): sql_mode="TRADITIONAL" and restart the server MySQL sql_mode "TRADITIONAL" , a.k.a. "strict mode", is defined by the MySQL docs as: “give an error instead of a warning” when
