But if all fields are varbinary, does it matter? Maybe it should be removed from the installer. There's also a $wgDBmysql5 configuration setting, which controls whether MediaWiki does "SET NAMES 'utf8'" or "SET NAMES 'binary'". I don't know what difference this makes, maybe none since all the columns are varbinary. > innodb_large_preffix cannot be enabled anymore because it is enabled > (hardcoded) automatically on MySQL 8.0. > That's good, once we raise the supported version that far. Currently it looks like we still support 5.5.8, which at least has the setting to enable. -- Brad Jorsch (Anomie) Senior Software Engineer Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
