Script to check Database in case of Problems on Migration

In case you encounter problems during the update with the database migration you might need to check if entries exists in table Account with too long column data:

SELECT username,CHARACTER_LENGTH(firstname) FROM Account WHERE CHARACTER_LENGTH(firstname) > 127 LIMIT 100;

→ Check the selected Accounts and fix the issue via Web->Admin->Account→Edit and shorten the given entries, in this case "firstname".

Note: Script needs to be adjusted depending on the failing statement. Example is for this step:

ALTER TABLE Account MODIFY COLUMN firstname VARCHAR(127);
