Error Adding Categories

[timber60]

I am getting the following error when adding a new category or subcategory:

"Error adding new category to the database. Returned id was 0."

What would cause this?

Never mind. I found it in another thread and fixed in by turning of mysql strict mode. Just out of curiosity, what does strict mode do exactly?

Its a pretty unforgiving way of adding queries that breaks most applications out there. Mysql site has extensive documentation on it.
