# Migration * `v1.x.x` to `v2.x.x` * The MySQL schema has been changed from charset `utf8` to charset `utf8mb4` and from collation `utf8_general_ci` to collation `utf8mb4_unicode_ci`. Use the statements below to update the database schema: ```sql ALTER TABLE `users` CHANGE `email` `email` VARCHAR(249) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NOT NULL; ALTER TABLE `users_confirmations` CHANGE `email` `email` VARCHAR(249) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NOT NULL; -- ALTER DATABASE `` CHARACTER SET = utf8mb4 COLLATE = utf8mb4_unicode_ci; ALTER TABLE `users` CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci; ALTER TABLE `users_confirmations` CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci; ALTER TABLE `users_remembered` CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci; ALTER TABLE `users_resets` CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci; ALTER TABLE `users_throttling` CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci; ALTER TABLE `users` CHANGE `email` `email` VARCHAR(249) CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL; ALTER TABLE `users` CHANGE `username` `username` VARCHAR(100) CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NULL DEFAULT NULL; ALTER TABLE `users_confirmations` CHANGE `email` `email` VARCHAR(249) CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL; ALTER TABLE `users_throttling` CHANGE `action_type` `action_type` ENUM('login','register','confirm_email') CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL; REPAIR TABLE users; OPTIMIZE TABLE users; REPAIR TABLE users_confirmations; OPTIMIZE TABLE users_confirmations; REPAIR TABLE users_remembered; OPTIMIZE TABLE users_remembered; REPAIR TABLE users_resets; OPTIMIZE TABLE users_resets; REPAIR TABLE users_throttling; OPTIMIZE TABLE users_throttling; ```
