- Update db.py SQLAlchemy model to match migration (String(191)) - Add dialect-specific SQL handling in migration (SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL) - Use CHAR_LENGTH for character-based truncation (not byte-based LENGTH in MySQL) - Ensure truncation works correctly across all supported database backends
- SQLite doesn't support ALTER COLUMN TYPE directly - Use batch_alter_table for SQLite (creates temp table, copies data, renames) - Keep direct ALTER COLUMN for PostgreSQL and MySQL - Applies to both upgrade and downgrade operations - Fixes: sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError with SQLite

🧾 PR Summary: Resize
slugandurlColumns to 191 CharactersBackground
In the existing schema, the following columns had larger lengths:
slug→VARCHAR(255)url→VARCHAR(767)These lengths exceeded typical index length limits on some databases (especially MySQL with UTF8MB4 encoding), potentially causing compatibility or index creation issues.
Change Summary
This migration adjusts both columns to a consistent and safer maximum length of 191 characters.
