After some investigation, the reported error above was easily fixed. As it is clearly explained here<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3466872/why-cant-a-text-column-have-a-default-value-in-mysql>, on Windows the default configuration of MySql doesn't allow default value for BLOB type. Setting sql_mode to "MYSQL40" in my.ini solves the problem.
But an error can hide another, and at the next run rb-site complained about a field "diff_base64" which couldn't be added because it was present already. I guess that the origin of the problem is a previous unsuccessful upgrade attempt to reviewboard 1.7. Some database changes shouldn't have been reverted properly. This database schema problem could be very difficult to fix, I think I'm better off setting up a new reviewboard site from scratch. And from now backing up my database before every upgrade ! -- Want to help the Review Board project? Donate today at http://www.reviewboard.org/donate/ Happy user?
