WP Cerber column collations

  • Is there a safe way to change the wp_cerber_sets.file_name_hash and wp_cerber_sets.the_key column collations from ascii_general_ci to utf8mb4_unicode_ci? I tried the SQL commands:

    ALTER TABLE wp_cerber_files MODIFY file_name_hash VARCHAR(255) CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

    and

    ALTER TABLE wp_cerber_sets MODIFY the_key VARCHAR(255) CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

    However, in both cases I received a “Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes” error message from phpMyAdmin.

    I’m trying to update my WordPress databases before migrating sites from a dedicated server running the MySQL 5.7 database server to one running MySQL 8.0.

    Thank you for the advice,

    Don
