SQLite->MySQL conversion problem

Seafile Server
1

Seafile 6.3.4 CE on Ubuntu 18.04 64bit x86 throws error messages during conversion from SQLite to MySQL accoding to the server manual. The server was previously running 6.2.5 CE with SQLite, and the upgrade to 6.3.4 CE with SQLite worked fine.
Here’s the log of the failed conversion from SQLite to MySQL:

Same here.

@hailfinger did you find a solution?

No. I tried for a while, and then I decided to move on. Seafile is still running with SQLite.

AFAICS the databases don’t contain that much info anyway, and restoring files in case of a crash/corruption can be done without the databases. You’ll lose owner information, though, but I don’t really care about that.

It would be interesting to check if a new installation of older+current Seafile versions can do the conversion, i.e. whether this problem is a regression for clean installs, or related to previous upgrades.

I found it. The table “Group” is a keyword - GROUP. One has to modify the *.sql-file or change the statement by hand do use `Group` instead of Group. Then it magically works…

Good find. Can someone try this fixed script that automatically inserts `` around table names. I do not have a working SQLite seafile installation nearby to test:
