[FIXED] Unknown Collation: utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci In MYSQL

Unknown collation: 'utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci'; This error is because the local server and live server have different versions of MYSQL. To solve this error follow the step guideline.

The error is because of a different version of MYSQL from were you exporting your SQL database and where you importing also a different version of MYSQL.

• 1. Open your .sql file in any editor, Which you imported from the MYSQL server.
• 2. Find 'utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci' With given table name.
• 3. Replace and save the .sqi file and upload it to the MYSQL server.

ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci;

Goto to your .sql file, and replace it with

Example With Posts Table

CREATE TABLE `posts` (
  `id` bigint UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
  `title` varchar(255) CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `post_description` text CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `deleted_at` timestamp NULL DEFAULT NULL,
  `created_at` timestamp NULL DEFAULT NULL,
  `updated_at` timestamp NULL DEFAULT NULL,
  `source_code` varchar(255) CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci DEFAULT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci;  // REMOVE THIS

Replace with the below ENGINE=InnoDB.

CREATE TABLE `posts` (
  `id` bigint UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
  `title` varchar(255) CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `post_description` text CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `deleted_at` timestamp NULL DEFAULT NULL,
