Re: [SQL] index row size 2728 exceeds btree maximum, 2713

Yes I am storing some “error messages” in data column, and the PK columns are party of search criteria.

 

Thanks

         Hi

 

             It is not advisable to add a variable length data field in the Index key, since it is very difficult predict the size of the field which may vary from record to record. 

 

             are you included this field for Full text search on data field?

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

         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.
