How It Affects Your App
The error 1628 ER_TOO_LONG_TABLE_COMMENT indicates that the comment associated with a table is too long. This can cause issues with the application as the comment may be too long to be stored in the database. This can lead to data loss or corruption, as the comment may not be stored properly. Additionally, the application may not be able to access the table if the comment is too long, leading to further issues.
