Answer 1

I think the issue is with ENUM, you can use that only with Postgres and not with mysql , ( Ref )
position: {
type: DataTypes.ENUM('FORWARD','MID-FIELD','DEFENDER','GK'),
}
Change it to simple string type and check again,
position: {
type: DataTypes.STRING(30)
}
NOTE : You might need to create table again or update the field
manually after changing this in model else you will still get the
error

Answer 2

If you want to use ENUMs in mysql you should use it as so
position: {
type: DataTypes.ENUM,
values: ['player', 'admin],
defaultValue: 'monthly' // A default value just incase you fail to provide one...
},
I do hope this helps...

Answer 3

Change datatype is not the solution. You have to check the data that you try to save. eg: if ENUM("0", "1") and you try to saved data 0 then it's showing that type of error. You have to save like that "0". Then it's not showing such type of error message again.

i have a lot spending my day to tracing this error.
i have following all solution but doesnt work.
in my case and my bad is...
i forgot have clone table/duplicate/history/trigger that save old and new data.
make sure your history table have same data type.
i have table like these
form3
hs_form3 // its mean history with revision (number of revisi data) column and action column (create/update/delete/any)
just for description
CREATE TABLE hs_form3 LIKE form3;
ALTER TABLE hs_form3 MODIFY COLUMN id int(11) NOT NULL,
DROP PRIMARY KEY, ENGINE = InnoDB, ADD action VARCHAR(8) DEFAULT 'insert' FIRST,
ADD revision INT(6) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT AFTER action,
ADD dt_datetime DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP AFTER revision,
ADD PRIMARY KEY (revision),
ADD KEY `user_id` (`user_id`),
and i didnt run migration on server because a lot of change , i only run on localhost. in server i just put a new table by export import or added manual. before i got issue about migration on server and doesnt capture last change in sql table and dont have time to resolve.
