return rows, a (possibly cryptic) error will result.
.. warning::
If you are performing queries on MySQL, note that MySQL's silent type coercion
may cause unexpected results when mixing types. If you query on a string
type column, but with an integer value, MySQL will coerce the types of all values
in the table to an integer before performing the comparison. For example, if your
table contains the values ``'abc'``, ``'def'`` and you query for ``WHERE mycolumn=0``,
both rows will match. To prevent this, perform the correct typecasting
before using the value in a query.
