However, if we ever feel inspired to turn on stricter modes like STRICT_TRANS_TABLES (which I believe MariaDB does by default), problems will occur. I think making those two columns TEXT (and nullable) is the way to go. There might be a bit of additional code warranted to make sure that the Apache error log doesn't display spurious warnings about undef opacnote and librariannote. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
