Invision Community 5: A video walkthrough creating a custom theme and homepage By Matt Thursday at 04:02 PM
menscerto Posted March 15 Posted March 15 Hi - I'm updating from v4.7.15 to v4.7.16 and getting asked to do massive amount of database updates. Is this normal? I chose to do it automatically but after several seconds it just returned to previous page without doing anything. I'm reluctant to run the queries manually because there are so many of them I'm bound to make an error. What can I do? Thanks.
teraßyte Posted March 15 Posted March 15 What kind of queries are you being asked to run exactly? There were a few changes, but not that many. 🤔
menscerto Posted March 15 Author Posted March 15 (edited) Maybe hundreds - there are updates, renaming, altering, etc. Also renaming and altering tables with "_new" at end. Edited March 15 by menscerto
teraßyte Posted March 15 Posted March 15 Sorry, that doesn't help. Can you post here a few of those queries? That said, since you mentioned the _new suffix, I think your database might not be utf8mb4. Does the Support page in ACP list any errors for the MySQL database?
menscerto Posted March 15 Author Posted March 15 (edited) This is what I see. Where/how do I start? Database Version 8.0.36 Database problems Non-InnoDB tables Not using UTF8MB4 Edited March 15 by menscerto
Solution Marc Posted March 15 Solution Posted March 15 If its not using UTF8MB4 and its converting, then there would be a lot. It may be better to run the converter before you do the upgrade, which you can do from the admin CP in the mysql section teraßyte 1
menscerto Posted March 15 Author Posted March 15 So I should switch to UTF8MB4 first then upgrade? Stupid question, where in the ACP is the MySQL section?

I believe you would find it in the Support section of the ACP. You'll find a link in the upper right hand corner of the ACP. There will be a section with recommended things to fix. If that does not work, you may have to fix it using something like phpMyAdmin.
menscerto Posted March 15 Author Posted March 15 Thanks, I am now upgraded. For others' reference, these are the steps I took: 1. Database Backup 2. Chose "Fix This" under "Not using UTF8MB4" in Support. Complete successfully. 3. Ran version upgrade - there were no longer any extra manual queries to run. Success. Thanks again for the quick support. Marc and Jim M 2
