Hi,

I've upgrade from Mysql 5.7 to 8.x and for some reason I managed to break a database.

When trying to restore the database - I want to DROP the old one (ab_mydatabase)

root@web01:/etc# mysql -u root -p
Enter password:

mysql> DROP DATABASE ab_mydatabase;
ERROR 1709 (HY000): Index column size too large. The maximum column size is 767 bytes.

Anybody know how to solve this issue? I've been stuck at this all morning.
I can succesfully create new databases etc without any issues. This is on a debian machine.
