django - MySQL strict mode with database url in settings

Question

I'm using a database URL string in my settings like:

DATABASES = {
    'default': "mysql://root:@localhost:3306/mydb"
}

When I migrate I get this warning:

MySQL Strict Mode is not set for database connection 'default'

Now my question: How can I combine the two things?

I cannot use the "regular" way to set the database settings with a dictionary because my database url comes from an environment variable.

Thx in advance!

You could update your settings afterwards:

DATABASES['default']['OPTIONS'] = {'init_command': "SET sql_mode='STRICT_TRANS_TABLES'"}
