Re: [SQL] index row size 2728 exceeds btree maximum, 2713

Hi,

One of the columns in primary key is of type "TEXT". I am able to insert
with small data, but for around 3000 characters it's failing. How to handle
that?

Thanks
Dinesh Pandey

Hi,

The issue looks like your Index width exceeds the maximum width
of the index key limit, Please review the keys used in the index.

Easy, btree indexes can't handle data with more that 2713 bytes.

You need to decide if having a single index on all your columns is
actually what you want. Depending on your queries it may not even be
used.

Hope this helps,
