Only by interest, was this related to the “issue” I reported recently?

If the server complains about “utf8mb4”, we fall back to “utf8”.
You need a real old MySQL version to find one, which doesn’t know utf8mb4!

I never followed up on my error as it is obviously not related to MBS SQL and it is working by not using “For each”, and the sole instance where I’m still using mySQL, but I’m still (sometimes) curious what the root cause is.

Making MBS great, again! - The comma is important, don’t want to sound “Trump-ish”, but Donnie came to my mind when I read that ;-).
