Asked by emegwalio
I am currently trying to migrate my db to my project but I am getting this error but unsure of how to resolve this. It is a laravel project version 7.3 and I am using the new app feature on DigitalOcean.
invalid value for parameter "client_encoding": "utf8mb4"
(SQL: select * from information_schema.tables where table_schema = public and table_name = migrations and table_type = 'BASE TABLE').
Please can anyone help?

Hi @emegwalio,
This indeed looks like Postgresql is being used as Database instead of MySql.
You have two options the way I see it. The first one is in your
config/database.phpfile, edit theNotice the pgsql at the end.
Or the second option is to set the DB_CONNECTION in .env as pgsql just as already mentioned.
