_mysql_exceptions.OperationalError: (1118, ‘Row size too large. The maximum row size for the used table type, not counting BLOBs, is 65535. This includes storage overhead, check the manual. You have to change some columns to TEXT or BLOBs’)

You are hitting table size limit. There is a patch coming soon that will reduce “Data” fields to 140. For now, try changing a Data Custom Field to “Small Text” so that you can free up space.

Thank you so much :smile:

We face this problem without even using custom Data fields. What we use is a lot of Select, Check, Link, Int, Float, Attach. But still after creating ~50 custom fields, we get this error.

The next questions is how to move forward with this error once we start seing it. Because the the system does not allow saving files in the particular module. So far we have been restoring complete server with last day backup. But maybe there is another way, where we could remove the newly entered fields and keep working? I have deleted the custom fields from anywhere I find and make ‘clear cache’, but nothing helps.

Are you on the latest version?

ERPNext: v6.4.7
Frappe Framework: v6.4.9

But thereafter I found that one of the new field was still in the custom fields list. After deleting it I was able to save the documents in the module.
Can you confirm that if we delete a field in ‘custom fields’ it is also removed from the database?

Also, do you see a way of solving this issue completelly? We are trying to make base of our test reports and product assembly reports on it (‘Serial No’ module), so we definitelly will need more custom field in a very near future. Before upgrading to V6 I was hoping that the Barracuda thing will solve these issues, but this didn’t happen.

Thanks!

Deleting custom field doesn’t delete the column in the database. You can carefully drop it from the sql interface (bench mysql).

Yes, but unfortunately moving utf8mb4 balanced that out. We changed all data fields to varchar(140) from varchar(255) as a minor release after v6 and that has increased the ceiling for this.
