mongo -> mysql import, ER_TOO_LONG_KEY

[ghost]

If the _id is treated as a string, the CREATE TABLE command will use a VARCHAR(255) which is too large for a MYSQL string index if using collation of utf8mb4_general_ci

Fix for this was to change the type defines to VARCHAR(50) instead of VARCHAR(255)

Future releases should allow variable VARCHAR size in the JSON

@Bob565656 thanks for reporting!

It seems that we just need varchar(24)? ObjectID is 12 byte length.

In my case, i had change the collation of MySQL database to utf8_swedish_ci, and it work.
After read some articles, some collation have different maximum for storing key.
