**Your software**
My Mautic version is: 5.0rc1
My PHP version is: 8.0.30
My Database type and version is: **mariadb 10.5.23-1 and mysql-community 8.0.36**
**Your problem**
My problem is: I’m trying to migrate my existing mautic data from a mariadb db to a new server running mysql-community. The challenge is some “generated” columns and keys in the export, mysql doesn’t like.
I was following some howto’s on removing these generated definitions in the export, importing and re-adding them. Then it complained about some “generated” keys, again howtos on removing them, importing and re-adding. Then more issues. Time to stop and ask for help.
Is there a better approach to my goal. I need this running on mysql and need all my data from the old server.
Thanks for any advice.
