Hi,

I'm using a MySQL 5.5.62
What can i do?

@simonedellefave-dev Generated columns where introduced in MySQL 5.7, which means the inspector doesn't currently support MySQL versions older than 5.7.

MySQL 5.5 came out 12 years ago (!!). I would highly recommend updating to a more modern version regardless of schema inspector support

😄 Thank you very much! I'll upgrade to a modern version
