Hi guys,

As mentioned in this post summary, this is a security update and it would surely be highly recommended to update to 7.26.

For drupal-7.26, I thought it would be definitely worth mentioning that you should be particularly careful when running the DB update.

In particular, make sure you read carefully the paragraph Known issues from the drupal 7.26 release notes:

On sites with a very large number of unpublished nodes in the database, the Taxonomy module update function introduced in this release may take a very long time to run and consume an excessive amount of memory. A fix is being discussed in this issue.

Additionally, it would be highly recommended that you follow the issue: taxonomy_update_7011 runs out of memory, where a couple of potential solutions, work-arounds and affected symptoms are mentioned:
From what I understood, if your site makes use of taxonomy (several vocabularies with many terms, for example) and has potentially many nodes (typically, an E-Commerce site, for example), you'd better prepare to go through a rather bumpy update.

See also a discussion on GDO that might as well get more comments and feedbacks from users, at Warning about 7.26 update if you have LOTS of nodes.

As usual, your comments, feedbacks, testing and reporting are always highly appreciated to provide more information to everyone else about your experience going through the update process to 7.26 (problems encountered, solutions, work-around, what you did to make it work, etc...).

Thanks in advance to everyone for your comments, feedbacks, testing and reporting.
Cheers!

Problem with Database Update (Drupal version 7.26)

Sarasvati's picture

Hello,
I've just updated my Drupal version to the new 7.26 and all is ok. Only database is not updated: there is 1 pending node module and after run update script I continue to have this error:
"The following updates returned messages node module
Update #7014
Failed: DatabaseSchemaObjectExistsException: Cannot add index language to table node: index already exists. in DatabaseSchema_mysql->addIndex() (line 437 of C:\wamp\www\drupal-7.22\includes\database\mysql\schema.inc)."
Thank you for your help!
(sorry, I'm new and I've posted this issue also in "support/upgrading Drupal": I don't know if it's correct...).
NOT YET SOLVED: 21 JAN, see also: https://drupal.org/node/2170529.

I just give a hand for that
