If the application really wants silent truncation without warning can't
they do it directly in the query?

I think generating DataTruncation (nb: as a *warning*, not throwing an
exception) is still a good idea. Then at least the application gets some
sort of notification.

Have you read the DataTruncation javadoc & spec section?
