      Hi,
      I’m trying to sync two identical databases, but the first one is hosted on mysql engine, the other one on mariadb.

      On some tables I theses errors:

      Definition mismatch for ‘bigint’ column
      or
      Definition mismatch for ‘int’ column

      It seems that mysql and mariadb use not fully compatible datatypes and that is preventing SQLyog to sync data (even if data itself would be migrated without issues because are the same type).

      Is there a way to force SLQyog to ignore that differences and sync anyway?
      Or another type of workaround?

      Thank you!

      I’m having the exact same issue. MySQL 5.6 to the MySQL 8 (MariaDB). I’m using the latest version of SQLyog. I’ve tried both to copy and sync. Both fail. It’s the sync tool that shows the definition match error. Doing a copy just spins along and says all is fine, but it really not. When it’s done I have no data in my target DB.

      I just paid to update my version of SQLyog expecting it would be able to do this for our migration from one hosting provider to another. If there isn’t a work-around, SQLyog is useless to us.

      It would appear that SQLyog can’t recognize the variance in signature for a column definition between versions of MySQL. In another words, even though “int(11)” and “int” are effectively the same field specification, SQLyog doesn’t recognize this and throws that error.

      The only thing we can really do is upgrade the source DB or go back to a “dumb” and slow tool like mysqldump.

      Very disappointing.

      Exactly the same issue.
      Any ideas on how to resolve it?
      It looks stupid to show this error even the types are the same in fact.
