Re: [Deborah] odd MySQL error message

I've since figured out the fix for myself, but I don't understand the cause of the issue.

I logged in to view the MySQL database, comparing the table throwing the error with another table with identical fields that was functioning correctly. I compared the working editor with the one that was not working, and the non-working table had an added row under "Indexes", with the Keyname "dragSortOrder". I deleted this row and was able to again dragsort as normal.

Attached is a screenshot from MySQL for the faulty editor. Just wondering if it was something I did while setting up my CMSB editor, or what could have caused this. (I had not manually edited the database previously.) Maybe a server glitch?

Hi Deborah,

CMSB doesn't automatically set up any MySQL indexes so I'm not sure how that happened. But any manually created indexes may interfere if not setup correctly. I'm not sure?

In any case, glad it's working now! :)

Dave, Thanks for the reply.

I guess this was an "anomaly" of sorts, because I don't even know HOW to manually create an index within a database. (Virtually zero database skills.) I just pieced together the clues that lead me to that difference between the two tables and deleted the obvious "extra".

Ah, well... all is good now. On to other challenges. [:)]
