## Known issues:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you plan to manage large zones, you may encounter some issues while applying changes.
|
|
|
|
|
This is due to PowerDNS-Admin trying to insert the entire modified zone into the column history.detail.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using MySQL/MariaDB, this column is created by default as TEXT and thus limited to 65,535 characters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
_Solution_:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Convert the column to MEDIUMTEXT:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `USE powerdnsadmin;`
|
2022-12-09 01:54:18 +00:00
|
|
|
* `ALTER TABLE history MODIFY detail MEDIUMTEXT;`
|
