Database Conversion Tools [Support Thread]

The converter fails out for me at Processing table [address_book]:
Error log says:
[19-Sep-2023 13:16:26 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught mysqli_sql_exception: Data too long for column 'address_title' at row 19641 in /home/pcs/dev/utf8mb4-conversion.php:170
Stack trace:
#0 /home/pcs/dev/utf8mb4-conversion.php(170): mysqli_query(Object(mysqli), 'ALTER TABLE `ad...')
#1 {main}
thrown in /home/pcs/dev/utf8mb4-conversion.php on line 170

I don't know the sort order, how can I find row 19641 to fix the address?

What was the original definition of that address_title field? Perhaps varchar(255)? If that's the case, the maximum varchar length for a utf8mb4 database is 192, so you're looking for records in that table that are between 193 and 255 characters in length.

Ya, please ignore entirely. Not only was the column complete garbage, but i had the entirely wrong version of the plug-in from your github. The published one worked quite nicely. No clue what i was thinking or how i managed that.

Thanks for the follow-up!

It could be worthwhile to do a pre-check (just like the date pre-check) for this condition. I had to do a few ALTER TABLE commands to fix things like this:

CREATE INDEX `idx_last_page_url_zen` ON `whos_online` (last_page_url)
1071: Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes
