Description

Hi All,

I want to reach out to your team as I have a friend with an issue converting MySQL to Postgre, they are getting an error:
WARNING: New column type ColumnType: 'int4' p31 s0 w0 is different type than existing column type ColumnType: 'int8' p19 s0 w0; update not supported by MDSPostgreSQLPlugIn

This is when they try to use the converted SQL to Web Help Desk.

Hope we can get some help.

Thanks.

Research direction

The report names a MySQL-to-PostgreSQL conversion involving Web Help Desk and MDSPostgreSQLPlugIn, but provides no repository file, test, schema, or reproduction steps. First determine whether this warning originates in persistent, then obtain a minimal failing conversion; done should mean the responsible component handles the column-type difference or clearly documents that it is unsupported, with a regression test.
