New Install Issue - Table Creation about plugin_flowview HOT 5 CLOSED

Appears its related to the name field with varchar 255, if I reduce the field max it creates the table.

I was getting "index column size too large. the maximum column size is 767 bytes"

from plugin_flowview.

there is nothing in that table definition that says more than 255 chars. so, i'm not clear as to where you are going.

Since I am using the utf8mb4 character set, it uses 4 bytes per char instead of 3 (utf8). Since this table is using the name varchar 255 field for indexing, I cannot exceed 191 chars (191*4=764).

oh, now that makes sense. that column does not need an index anyway. so, it was removed. thanks for testing that. are you working on any translations?

from plugin_flowview.

I am not working on any translations, I believe mb4 was a recommendation, not a requirement, when I set up this new dev box using mysql 5.7 and a fresh install of cacti 1.0.0 dev branch.

Thanks!

Closing ticket.
