MySQL: Error Code: 1118 Row size too large (> 8126). Changing some columns to TEXT or BLOB

I want to create a table of 325 column:

CREATE TABLE NAMESCHEMA.NAMETABLE 
(   
      ROW_ID TEXT NOT NULL ,        //this is the primary key

324 column of these types:
      CHAR(1), 
      DATE, 
      DECIMAL(10,0), 
      DECIMAL(10,7), 
      TEXT, 
      LONG,

) ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED;

I replaced all the VARCHAR with the TEXT and i have added Barracuda in the my.ini file of MySQL, this is the attributes added:

innodb_file_per_table=1
innodb_file_format=Barracuda
innodb_file_format_check = ON

but i still have this error:

Error Code: 1118
 Row size too large (> 8126). Changing some columns to TEXT or BLOB may help. In current row format, BLOB prefix of 0 bytes is stored inline.

EDIT: I can't change the structure of the database because it's legacy application/system/database. The create of a new table, it's an export of the legacy database.

EDIT2: i wrote this question that is similar to others but inside there are some solution that i found on internet like VARCHAR and Barracuda, but i still have that problem so i decided to open a new question with already the classic answer inside for seeing if someone have other answers

Solution

  • I struggled with the same error code recently, due to a change in MySQL Server 5.6.20. I was able to solve the problem by changing the innodb_log_file_size in the my.ini text file.

    In the release notes, it is explained that an innodb_log_file_size that is too small will trigger a "Row size too large error."
