Hi Daniel, I think that this key type problem has to do with the type of ‘text’used for some fields in my myqsl db. By changing the type from ‘text’ to varchar(256), the problem goes away. It is for sure just a workaround, that is ok for me for the moment, but in the case people would need to have text, we can get this problem back. I hope this help.

Hello, thanks for reminder, actually I missed that email, not reading it so far. I just pushed a patch in master that should handle the blob/text columns: - https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/commit/24e729698017b5d898a92cdf7acb024… Can you test it? If all ok, then I will backport.

Hi, Good news, one of my colleague help me to compile the htable.so including your patch. I have tested it with success. Now, what is the next steps for you ? Are you going to include this patch in the different stream 5.0.x (or others) right away ? And do you generate new rpm for the different distros ? Again thanks a lot for the help.
