Database error when installing the Upper Plugin

Hi @paragonn

thanks for your report! Please provide more details about your environment, like DB version.

Sure thing: Mysql 8 Digital Ocean - Managed Databases

I know that Digital Ocean's Managed Databases do no like tables without a primary key. Has something to do with replication.

I am sure this is not the same issue. In our case, the table already exists. It is not about primary key or similar.

Thanks @L3P3

[L3P3]

I think this issue here is not related with my fix. You should better leave it open. Or have you looked into it a bit more?

[ostark]

@L3P3 Oops, you are right! It does not solve the problem with the missing PK - I just had a look at the most recent comments. I think all uid needs is a PRIMARY KEY constraint instead of just UNIQUE.
