Reported by ydir...@gmail.com, Oct 7, 2009
When the default mysql charset is utf8, the provided instructions for
creating a db fail with "MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Specified key was too
long; max key length is 1000 bytes".  This is even explained in a FAQ,
although the FAQ even does not explain how to solve the problem once the
user has hit it (ie. drop the table and restart after altering db charset).

The mysql instructions should really contain the following additional
instruction to prevent unsuspecting user to loose their time:

ALTER DATABASE reviewdb charset=latin1;


(although the real fix is most probably to support UTF8 ...)

ydirson, you should add this to the documentation and submit a patch if you have a fix.

svn co http://gerrit.googlecode.com/svn and read SUBMITTING_PATCHES
