If you use $wpdb->query($wpdb->prepare(...)) syntax, it will insert the record (and possibly truncate the string). If you use $wpdb->insert(...) syntax, no record is created, and no error is reported in any manner. If you edit the MySQL def to char(20) or shorten the string to 8 chars, $wpdb->insert then inserts the record. Preferably, both forms of syntax should work the same and either (a) provide an understandable error and fail; (b) provide a warning and succeed." defect (bug) closed normal 5.9 Database 4.2.1 normal fixed has-patch has-unit-tests commit
