As temporary workarround I simply dropped the tables with

drop table oc_fulltextsearch_indexes;
drop table oc_fulltextsearch_ticks;

Currently the apps 'fulltextsearch' are disabled. In the case of need the index can be rebuild.

Same thing with the app forms.

InvalidArgumentException: Column "oc_forms_v2_answers"."text" is type String, but exceeding the 4.000 length limit.

Seems to be happening in all app tables, where there is a VARCHAR field with more then 4000 length.

By setting them all to 4000 (from 4096, 8192, etc.) you can finish the update after a few tries.

Same at "oc_cas_ticket"."service" and "oc_external_config"."value"
Change the length from 4096 to 4000 in the database works for me.

I got a similar issue but here is only the files_external App affected, any workaround increase the VARCHAR is not helping here

You have to reduce it, not increase it.
Try:
alter table oc_ldap_group_mapping CHANGE COLUMN 'ldap_dn' varchar(4000);

I was able to find and shorten several fields in tables. After that the update was successful. Here are the steps I followed.

Mini help (step by step):

-- Run psql
sudo -u postgres psql

-- List DB
\l

-- Connect to DB
\connect nextcloud_test_db

-- List Tables (all or by pattern)
\dt oc_bookmarks

-- Get info about a table
\d oc_bookmarks

-- Chenge column leng
ALTER TABLE oc_bookmarks ALTER COLUMN url TYPE varchar(4000);

alter table oc_ldap_group_mapping CHANGE COLUMN 'ldap_dn' varchar(4000);

Mhhh.....

Since when is 4000 a limit in Nextcloud? Where is this documented? This is a breaking change.

Another one fir this collection...

Updating <user_ldap> ...
OC\DB\Exceptions\DbalException: An exception occurred while executing a query: SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column '4000' in 'where clause'

Forms fixed with nextcloud/forms#1149

Bookmarks opted out of oracle support: https://github.com/nextcloud/bookmarks/blob/master/appinfo/info.xml#L40-L42
That was then fixed with #31872

"oc_external_config"."value"

That was already fixed with #31679

Small bug fix added in #31903 for I guess owncloud migration case

"oc_cas_ticket"."service"

Can't find that table. What app is it from?

full text search: nextcloud/fulltextsearch#678

Fixed in nextcloud/fulltextsearch#679

alter table oc_ldap_group_mapping CHANGE COLUMN 'ldap_dn' varchar(4000);

Mhhh.....

my problems are solved now btw but THX anyway

Isn't this already solved in the meantime?

nextcloud/fulltextsearch#679 is still not merged...

right

can I get a quick review on nextcloud/fulltextsearch#679 ?

can I get a quick review on nextcloud/fulltextsearch#679 ?

could you ask in the files chat? :)

Should be fixed with nextcloud/fulltextsearch#679
