Yes, but mySQL could return a more friendly "you're out of space" message and not corrupt
the data files if a given statement would cause the database to exceed its quota (and it
could do so in a way that doesn't corrupt the database files)

Or it could work the opposite way: check the current usage against the quota before
executing a statement, and if the database is already over quota, don't even attempt it.
