Incorrect table definition; there can be only one TIMESTAMP column with CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in DEFAULT or ON UPDATE clause
Incorrect string value: '\xEF\xBF\xBDs d...' for column 'MESSAGE' at row 5
0 row(s) transferred.

*Incorrect table definition; there can be only one TIMESTAMP column with CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in DEFAULT or ON UPDATE clause*
This is right, you should not create more then one such fields.
Incorrect string value: '\xEF\xBF\xBDs d...' for column 'MESSAGE' at row 5 0 row(s) transferred.
Possible encoding error, try to run 'SET NAMES UTF8;' before inserting data
Try this statement,
CREATE TABLE `MyTable` (
PK_ID INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
FK_QUESTION_ID INT(11) NOT NULL,
ANSWER LONGTEXT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`PK_ID`)
)
ENGINE = INNODB;
You missed a comma and it was wrong field name. Be careful with migration toolkit. Check generated field types, for example if you do not need 4GB text values, you could use simple VARCHAR instead of LONGTEXT.
