At the very least, we should be consistent in the adding of indexes, and middle name is a good one to copy. On a fairly new KTD, I dropped "preferred_name_idx" and re-added it. While there wasn't a noisy error message, I did notice that there was a warning in KTD: MariaDB [koha_kohadev]> ALTER TABLE `borrowers` ADD KEY `preferred_name_idx` (`preferred_name`); Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.050 sec) Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 1 MariaDB [koha_kohadev]> show warnings; +-------+------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | Level | Code | Message | +-------+------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | Note | 1071 | Specified key was too long; max key length is 3072 bytes | +-------+------+----------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.000 sec) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list Koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org https://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
