The error message you received indicates that the row size in your database table is too large. In MySQL, the maximum row size is 65,535 bytes. The specific error message you provided suggests that the row size exceeds this limit (8126 bytes).
To resolve this issue, you can consider the following options:
Change column types: If your table contains columns with large data sizes, such as VARCHAR or TEXT, you can consider changing them to the TEXT or BLOB types. These types store the actual data separately and store a reference in the row, which can help reduce the row size.
Modify the row format: You can change the row format to either DYNAMIC or COMPRESSED. These row formats can help optimize the storage of large columns, allowing more data to be stored within the row size limit.
To change the row format to DYNAMIC, you can execute the following SQL statement before creating or altering your table:
sql
ALTER TABLE your_table_name ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC;
To change the row format to COMPRESSED, you can execute the following SQL statement:
sql
ALTER TABLE your_table_name ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED;
It's important to note that changing the row format may have implications on the performance and storage requirements of your table, so it's advisable to test and benchmark the changes in a development environment before applying them in production.
Remember to backup your database before making any significant changes to your table structure or row format.
