<p>I wanted to create a MySQL container in Kubernetes with default disabled strict mode. I know the way of how to disable strict mode in docker. I tried to use the same way in Kubernetes, but it shows an errors log.</p>
<p>docker</p>
<pre class="lang-sh prettyprint-override"><code>docker container run -t -d --name hello-wordl mysql --sql-mode=&quot;&quot;
</code></pre>
<p>kubernetes</p>

Deno
<p>Based on the error you're getting, it is reading the double quotes as value to sql_mode. You should omit the escaped double-quotes.</p>
<pre><code>args: [&quot;--sql-mode=&quot;]
</code></pre>
