How It Affects Your App
The error ER_TOO_BIG_DISPLAYWIDTH indicates that the display width of the column is too large for the application to handle. This can cause the application to crash or display incorrect data. It can also lead to data loss or corruption, as the application may not be able to store the data correctly. In addition, it can cause performance issues, as the application may take longer to process the data due to the large display width.
