This error occurs when attempting to create a table with BLOB/TEXT columns, but the storage engine does not support them. It is a MySQL error code 167.

How It Affects Your App

MySQL 167 error has a significant impact on an application as it prevents the storage engine from supporting BLOB/TEXT columns. This means that any data stored in these columns cannot be accessed or manipulated. This can lead to data loss and can cause applications to become unstable or unusable. Additionally, it can cause applications to become slow or unresponsive due to the inability to access the data stored in these columns.
