Hi Norman,

I use the Gentoo dist.

The SQL error is "Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes". Unfortunately I don't have the stack track right now, however, I think this problem has been mentioned before, without being resolved:

JAMES-485 does not appear to be the same issue - the problem I am experiencing occurs when creating the tables on starting James for the first time with a new database.

ciao,
Craig

Hi,

I'd like to point out to the list a problem with James and MySQL 4.1. The 
character set support was
revamped from MySQL 4.0 to MySQL 4.1, and as a result on some systems (in my 
case, Gentoo) UTF-8 is
now the default character set on install.

This is a problem when creating the spool, inbox and deadletter tables. The 
primary key for these
tables is (message_name, repository_name). On my system MySQL allows for 3 
bytes per UTF-8
character, and has a maximum key length of 1000 bytes. Since message_name is 
200 chars and
repository_name is 255 chars by default, the key length exceeds 1000 bytes and 
the table cannot be
created.

The key length issue in MySQL is better described here:
http://www.xaprb.com/blog/2006/04/17/max-key-length-in-mysql/

I managed to solve the problem by reducing the length of repository_name to 128 
chars.

Ciao,
Craig
