As I previously mentioned incorrectly in http://drupal.org/node/298391, apparently defaults on TEXT fields prevent the installation of some tables (namely menu_router and perhaps one other that I no longer recall). The attached patch successfully led to the installation of a brand new HEAD.

Keith, what database engine are you having issues with? MyISAM, InnoDB, Postgres, etc

Never mind.

See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/blob.html

BLOB and TEXT columns cannot have DEFAULT values.

Committed to CVS HEAD.

Huh? Do we really want that? I was under the impression that some discussion was going on to treat that as the database engine level.

I'm convinced we need a better solution for this.
