How to turn on/off MySQL strict mode in localhost (xampp)?

->STRICT_TRANS_TABLES is responsible for setting MySQL strict mode.

->To check whether strict mode is enabled or not run the below sql:

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'sql_mode';

If one of the value is STRICT_TRANS_TABLES, then strict mode is enabled, else not.
In my case it gave

+--------------+------------------------------------------+ 
|Variable_name |Value                                     |
+--------------+------------------------------------------+
|sql_mode      |STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION|
+--------------+------------------------------------------+

Hence strict mode is enabled in my case as one of the value is STRICT_TRANS_TABLES.

->To disable strict mode run the below sql:

set global sql_mode="";

[or any mode except STRICT_TRANS_TABLES. Ex: set global sql_mode=”NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION”;]

->To again enable strict mode run the below sql:

set global sql_mode="STRICT_TRANS_TABLES";
