 Greetings everyone,    I have been trying to upgrade Koha 20.05.06.000 to the latest version for some time now and every time I try I get a DBI exception "Row size too large" message. The full error message below:


Upgrade to 20.0t.00.030 done [18:40:59] Bug 20047 - Add new system preference 'AutoApprovePatronProfileSettings'Upgrade to 20.06.00.031 done [18:40:59] Bug 22789 - Add non_priority column on reserves and old_reserves tables{UNKNOWN}: DBI Exception: DBD::mysql::db do failed: Row size too large. The maximum row size for the used table type, not counting BLOBs, is 8126.This incldues storage overhead, check the manual. You have to change some columns to TEXT or BLOBs [for Statement " 
                ALTER TABLE `items` ADD COLUMN `exclude_from_local_holds_priority` tinyint(1) default NULL AFTER `new_status`


Anyone who has any idea how I can address this and go on with the upgrade.I am running Koha on Debian 10 Buster, Perl 5.028001, Server version: Apache/2.4.38 (Debian), mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.3.29-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.2
Kind regards,

Hi Tasha,

there is currently a bug about some punctuation leading to no results in
Elasticsearch that might relate to your problem:

*Bug 28316*
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28316> - Fix
ES crashes related to various punctuation characters

Hope this helps,

Katrin

>> Good afternoon,
>> I’m having trouble with Title vs. Library catalog keyword searching with several example titles.  Searching the same phrase with either method yields different results.  This problem occurs only in the OPAC.  I hope to confirm whether the behavior I’m seeing is intended (i.e., the problem is me) or not.  Thanks in advance.

>> On comparing the above URL query strings, it appears that the unquoted terms in the Library catalog keyword search aren’t “anded” together with a “+” the way other searches are, but I’m not sure what the implications are, if any.  Also, the Koha manual indicates the following, which suggests to me that I ought to get hits on the unquoted string:
>> When you have more than one word in the search box, Koha will still do a keyword search, but a bit differently. Each word will be searched on its own, then the Boolean connector ‘and’ will narrow your search to those items with all words contained in matching records.
>> I understand and can predict pretty well the way our old ILS (Millennium, if context helps) will perform a keyword search, but I’m a little confused here.  My expectation for this particular case is that all of the above methods would yield results.  If there are any pointers to be had, I thank you if might point me to them so that I may be better poised to help users.
>> I’m using Elasticsearch with Koha 20.11.06.  I reindexed both authorities and biblios today, but that didn’t impact my experience.  The records are not newly added.
