Hello,
I just tried importing a larger file and I have this error:

Illegal mix of collations (utf8_general_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8mb4_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation '='

How can I start investigate about it?

Thanks

Maurizio

Hello Maurizio,

The table encoding doesn't happen so often. I also don't know how it happens but my guess is that it is a result of updates not going a 100%. A test site is a good place to try this out :)
Kind regards,

Thank you Rolandd,

Since is a test environment, I'll try doing myself.

Thanks a lot

Hello Maurizio,

The reason you get this problem is because your database tables are inconsistent. As the error states, you have some tables that are utf8_general_ci and other tables that are utf8mb4_general_ci. The only solution is to make all your tables have the same collation, they should all be utf8mb4. You can do this using PhpMyAdmin if you know how otherwise I believe there is an option in Akeeba Admin Tools to set all tables to the same collation.
Kind regards,

RolandD
