Unable to update from 8.6.13 to 8.7: "SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation"

Created on 7 May 2019, over 5 years ago

Problem/Motivation

I am trying to update from 8.6.13 to 8.7.

When running the database updates, I am getting the following error:

> [notice] Update started: node_update_8700
> [error] Exception thrown while performing a schema update. SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'NOT NULL' at line 1: ALTER TABLE {node_field_data} CHANGE `uid` `uid` NOT NULL; Array
> (
> )
>
> [error] Update failed: node_update_8700

All the other update hooks ran successfully.

Server version: 10.1.38-MariaDB

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

The proposed resolution was to wait until 8.7.2 was release, see #12.

Remaining tasks

If you are experiencing this problem, add a comment including the database and version you are using.
Determine if this is limited to MariaDB, or perhaps database not supplied with Drupal core.

    Related problem: after loading a backup from two days ago (software and DB), emptying the caches, waiting a few minutes, the website worked for about 10 minutes. Then we got this message on several tables (cache..., watchdog). We can repeat this unlimited. We can assume it's not a syntax error.
    Apache, drupal 9.5.5, PHP 8.1.17, MYSQL 5.7.40
    We are a senior club.
    Thanks in advance.

    The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.
