对于MySQL上的Django中的列，数据太长

Question

对于在模型中被声明为TextField的列，在数据库中是一个LONGTEXT，并且我尝试插入的值只有3KB长，我得到了这个错误。AFAIK LONGTEXT理论上的限制是2 2GB，所以我不知道为什么会有这样的限制，也不知道如何绕过它。有什么想法吗？

我得到的具体异常是：

But is this the case across nations? Does increasing creativity necessarily lead to increased economic inequality? To get at this, we examine the relationship between the GCI and a standard measure of income inequality—the Gini Index. Exhibit 19 shows the relationships between income inequality and the GCI overall as well as each of the 3 T indices that comprise it. While this may come as a surprise for those familiar with the case of the United States, we find that the GCI is in fact systematically associated with lower levels of socio-economic inequality—and hence greater equality—across the nations of the world. Each and every one of the correlations between the GCI and the Gini is negative. The correlation between inequality and the overall GCI is −0.43. The Gini is also quite negatively associated with Technology (− 0.47) and Talent (−0.52) but much less so with Tolerance (− 0.06 and not statistically significant). This last is a bit surprising as one might expect more tolerant societies to be more equal on balance. That said, we believe the overall finding of a negative association between creativity and inequality to be an important one, for it implies that the general trajectory of economic development is associated with lower levels of inequality. Exhibit 20 is a scatter-graph which plots the association between the Gini measure of income inequality and the GCI for the nations of the world. The fit is not especially good and there are lots of countries above and below the line. This suggests that there are two distinctive paths for high creativity countries. On the one hand, there are countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and to a lesser extent, Australia and New Zealand, where high levels of creativity, productivity and economic competitiveness go hand in hand with higher levels of inequality. But there are also a substantial number of countries where high levels of creativity, competitiveness and productivity combine with much lower low levels of inequality. These are largely Scandinavian and Northern

European countries, including Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, the Netherlands, and Germany. Japan is represented as well. Among the less developed nations, we find high levels of inequality in South American nations like Paraguay, Bolivia, Panama, Brazil, Honduras, Ecuador, and Argentina. Of the BRIC nations, China, Russia and particularily Brazil all exhibit much higher levels of inequality than their GCI scores would predict. There appears to be two distinct paths available to high creative development: for every high-creativity, high-inequality nation there is a high-creativity, low-inequality counterpart. This is a likely reflection of these countries’ differing levels of social welfare. Though more systematic study is needed before we can draw any firm conclusions, this finding gives us reason for optimism; at the same time, it suggests that sustainable, long-term prosperity requires a significant investment in education and skill development. This is the topic to which we now turn.

The GCI and Human Development
What is the connection between creativity and human development? To get at this, we explore the association between the GCI and the United Nations’ Human Development Index [27]. “People often value achievements that do not show up at all, or not immediately,

注意出现在某些数字前面的'-‘实际上是+-特殊字符，以UTF-8编码

Answer 1

确保您的数据实际上是UTF8编码的。该列真的是utf8吗

如果不是，MySQL可能会引发此错误。您可以通过执行一条INSERT IGNORE语句并查看插入到数据库中的内容来测试这一点(以及其他内容)。

您可以检查table, column and database的information_schema，看看是否是这种情况。
