How about the fact that MySQL accepts the following query as legal:
SELECT foo, bar, COUNT(*)
FROM baz
GROUP BY foo
And produces, naturally, an unexpected result instead of an error. Totally
annoying, I don't know if it was ever fixed. It seems that MySQL's parser
is generally weak at syntax validation in it's default configuration.
