[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Database migration error creating table

[Blake Carver]

Your DB is in a bad place.
It has tables from the failed upgrade, so every time you try to run it again it sees those tables and says "nope, can't keep going, you have this one already"
Make sure you do this on a COPY of the DB and not the live site.
drop table lang_material
./scripts/setup-database.sh
it will probably fail with another "already exists" error
now drop lang_material AND that new one. You'll need to drop both because they get recreated each time you run setup again.
Keep doing that until it finishes up. There will be probably 4 or 5.
Hopefully that'll do the trick and the DB isn't messed up in any other ways.
You may also need to delete some enumeration values in there also.

ArchivesSpace expects certain things to be in certain places, and certain other things to NOT be in certain places when upgrading, if the upgrade fails only some of those things are in the right place, so it can't get past that weird state.

Thank you! I tried running the setup database script for 2.7.0 and 2.7.1. Both want to create the lang_material table but it already exists.

You don't often get email from benn.joseph at northwestern.edu. Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification>
This email originated from outside ECU.


Wasn’t there also a version somewhere around 2.7 where the data model changed re: languages? I remember having to upgrade to 2.7 (and running some sort of tool) before going to 2.8, a couple of upgrades ago.

Nick I’m not sure it’s related, but aspace-import-excel (the plugin) was added to core code as of 2.8.0, so you can drop that plugin and enjoy that functionality without it.

Hi team,



My library is trying to upgrade AS from 2.51 to 3.3.1. We are using mysql for the dB and aspace-import-excel is enabled for plug-in.

The dB migration throws an error that table lang_material already exists. Please let me know how to complete the upgrade. Maybe I need to upgrade to the latest 2.x version first?
