There a quite a few of those in SQL…testing queries is a requirement. And being explicit with types is strongly suggested.
To be clear, the complaint is that we allow input functions such as varchar(n) and char to truncate their inputs as opposed to erroring out if the input length is too long. Right? If not I’m still confused as to what exact behavior you believe is dangerous.
