[TYPO3-project-4-3] Announcing TYPO3 4.3.1

[bob wild]

Hi,

I have no idea to where I should send this - so I post it with your message.

It happens every once in a while taht table definitions should be 
updated. In the installation tool several errors can be found and most 
of them are due to a mistake that is described here.

http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/07/09/mysql-error-1170-42000-blobtext-column-used-in-key-specification-without-a-key-length/

In my case these tables where affected:
cachingframework_cache_hash_tags
sys_registry
sys_refindex
cachingframework_cache_pages_tags
cachingframework_cache_pagesections_tags

Contrary to the article it is not necessary to change the type from text 
to VARCHAR(80), but to add a number in the KEY definitions.

E.G: the following thorughs an error:

ALTER TABLE sys_registry ADD UNIQUE entry_identifier 
(entry_namespace,entry_key(256));

The next is accepted:

ALTER TABLE sys_registry ADD UNIQUE entry_identifier 
(entry_namespace(256),entry_key(256));

Of course, if you the go into the install tool and click comare, it will 
still suggest to alter tables.

I wonder if this is sth that could be corrected in general or if there 
are MySQL version differences that lead to troubles like this.

Thanks!
Robert
