Description:
------------
There is a bug in the pdo_mysql driver with PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES set to false that prevents a query such as `SHOW WARNINGS` from working properly.

I'm intending on writing a patch to fix this issue once I dig into it further, but I wanted to get the bug report live in case anyone else runs into this issue in the wild (e.g. Laravel disables emulated prepares for their DB implementation on top of PDO). 


Test script:
---------------
<?php

$db = new \PDO(...$params);
$db->setAttribute(\PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES, false);
$result = $db->query('SHOW WARNINGS')->fetchAll(); // causes a 2014 client error

$db = new \PDO(...$params);
$db->setAttribute(\PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES, true);
$result = $db->query('SHOW WARNINGS')->fetchAll(); // works

I believe that https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/f3d5877845358d011174cf87283b456cee6f7f53 already fixed this issue a while ago, you're just using a very old PHP 7.4 version.

I can't reproduce this with MariaDB but with MySQL I can confirm that Nikita's fix solves the problem.

However, I don't think I should be seeing any warnings. The results I get with MySQL are incorrect!

Nikita, are we sure that fallback to emulated prepares is the right solution here?

I think it's the best we can do right now -- this works well for everything exception SHOW WARNINGS/ERRORS, which happen to make the failure of the initial prepare visible.

Ideally though, PDO::query() would not even try to use a prepared statement in the first place and directly execute the query (this is also good for efficiency).
