Error when installing Yellowfin into MySQL : 'ERR_INSERTQUERY'
Resolved
When installing Yellowfin, I'm getting the following error:
ERR_INSERTQUERY
Query:
INSERT
INTO ReferenceCodeDesc (`RefTypeCode`, `RefVersion`, `RefCode`, `LanguageCode`,
`ShortDescription`, `LongDescription`, `ScreenSortOrder`) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?,?, ?, ?)
What does this mean, and how can I install Yellowfin?
The same problem 
This error is almost exclusive to MySQL and is related to the character encoding of the database you're installing into.
The character set can be set at a database level, or sever level, so there are 2 ways around this.
For option 1, you can use the query below to create a new blank DB called 'yellowfin' which is set to use UTF-8:
CREATE DATABASE `yellowfin` CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
Note,
the above will created a blank database called 'yellowfin', so if you already
have a 'yellowfin' DB, you can delete it, change the name in the above query.
Once you have done this, re-install Yellowfin, and ensure you do NOT tick 'create
new database' option.
For option 2 , this is done via MySQL configuration, and can be done in a few different ways.
See the following article for some detailed information on this.
