Description

InnoDB is an alternative engine for mysql (default is MyISAM). It has a restriction about the length of indexes.

It should be tested for each release, if ownCloud can be installed and all shipped apps can be enabled without a problem.
This is not the case in 9.0 but was found by a user: https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/22968
