Table 'jos_session' does not have column 'data' with type 'MEDIUMTEXT'

[patrik60]

Everytime when I update Virtemart I get the following error in Extensions -> Database check:

Table 'jos_session' does not have column 'data' with type 'MEDIUMTEXT'. (From file 1.7.1-2011-09-15.sql.)

The type of 'data' is always changed into 'TEXT' after VM update and this causes this error message. I don't know wether this is a VM bug and wether this could cause other wrong behaviors in Joomla.

joomla guys set it first to varchar. 20k chars for the whole session is too small, so we changed that to text.... maybe they changed it also to mediumtext

Because 20k chars for all values of all components in the session is just too small,... imho it should not harm anything.

Ok, I see. Thank you.
