Question

In my python script I would like to trap a \"Data truncated for column \'xxx\'\" warning durnig my query using MySql.

I saw some posts suggesting the code below, but

Answer 1

Raise MySQL Warnings as errors:

import warnings, MySQLdb
warnings.filterwarnings('error', category=MySQLdb.Warning)

To ignore instead of raising an error, replace "error" with "ignore".

Handle them in a try-except block like:

try:
    # a MySQL DB operation that raises a warning
    # for example: a data truncated warning
except Warning as a_warning:
    # do something here
