Comment (by FPCSJames):

 @pento Please, PLEASE consider merging the first patch here. It's
 absolutely bonkers that invalid data should cause a query to just fail
 silently - it makes tracking down the source of an issue virtually
 impossible when good code suddenly stops working due to a change somewhere
 in the hosting environment. I spent hours tracking down why Gravity Forms
 inserts were failing silently today - the answer is that they were storing
 the IP address of the submitter in a varchar(39) column, and something in
 the hosting environment was inserting [] around IPv6 addresses. Without
 the solution in the patch, which I used, I would have had no leads for far
 longer.

 Silent death is madness. Fix this.
