1. Identify the source of the MySQL 1469 error:SELECT * FROM table_name;
ERROR 1469 (HY000): The size of the key specified for the index is too large. The maximum size is 767 bytes.
2. Check the table structure to identify the index with the key size that is too large:SHOW CREATE TABLE table_name;
CREATE TABLE `table_name` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`description` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`created_at` datetime NOT NULL,
`updated_at` datetime NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `name_index` (`name`(255))
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci
3. Reduce the size of the key specified for the index:ALTER TABLE table_name MODIFY COLUMN name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, DROP INDEX name_index, ADD INDEX name_index (name(200));
