Hi,

 

One of the columns in primary key is of type “TEXT”. I am able to insert with small data, but for around 3000 characters it’s failing. How to handle that?

 

Thanks
Dinesh Pandey

         Hi,

 

             The issue looks like your Index width exceeds the maximum width  of the index key limit, Please review the keys used in the index.
