MySQL: error 1118 (42000) row size too large storage_engine = MyISAM
table_type = MyISAM
version = 5.1.25-rc


database_name.sql dump size is 3.3G:

mysqldump -u user -p database_name &gt; database_name.sql


When I try to restore the database (trying to restore on MySQL 5.1.25-rc and on 5.7.17):

mysql -u user -p database_name &lt; database_name.sql


...an error:


  ERROR 1118 (42000) at line 7192: Row size too large. The maximum row size for the used table type, not counting BLOBs, is 65535. You have to change some columns to TEXT or BLOBs


"Questions that may already have your answer" doesn't have answer for me :(
Sounds like the import forced the Engine to be InnoDB??

If so, then let's see the my.cnf and figure out what to fix.

If not, then let's see the CREATE TABLE that is leading to the problem.

Or, maybe, a CHARACTER SET default changed.

Show us the first part of the dump and the CREATE TABLE just before the naughty table.
