> From Maillinglist:
> Hi,
> I'd like to point out to the list a problem with James and MySQL 4.1. The character set support was
> revamped from MySQL 4.0 to MySQL 4.1, and as a result on some systems (in my case, Gentoo) UTF-8 is
> now the default character set on install.
> This is a problem when creating the spool, inbox and deadletter tables. The primary key for these
> tables is (message_name, repository_name). On my system MySQL allows for 3 bytes per UTF-8
> character, and has a maximum key length of 1000 bytes. Since message_name is 200 chars and
> repository_name is 255 chars by default, the key length exceeds 1000 bytes and the table cannot be
> created.
> The key length issue in MySQL is better described here:
> http://www.xaprb.com/blog/2006/04/17/max-key-length-in-mysql/
> I managed to solve the problem by reducing the length of repository_name to 128 chars.
> Ciao,
> Craig
