I notice that "iw_url" has changed from a char(127) to a blob (was this in 1.12.x or before?).

Changed 9 months ago in r23239 by Tim Starling. http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki?view=rev&revision=23239

Running update.php leaves everything as it was before, but a fresh install produces the new table structure (with a blob for the URL). Both seem to work, but I am concerned about how to move to the new table structure (table interwiki).

Any pointers?

ALTER TABLE ?

Cheers!

So that makes at least the third version of what one's interwiki table will look like, depending on what version one started using MediaWiki (and updating dutifully since.) https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12200
