执行以下命令时:
ALTER TABLE `mytable` ADD UNIQUE (
`column1` ,
`column2`
);
我得到了这个错误信息:
#1071 - Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes
columnn1和column2的信息:
column1 varchar(20) utf8_general_ci
column2 varchar(500) utf8_general_ci
我认为varchar(20)只需要21个字节，而varchar(500)只需要501个字节。所以总字节数是522，小于767。为什么我得到了错误消息?
#1071 - Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes

好吧，在我的情况下，我必须将数据库文件从mySQL 5.7恢复到mySQL 5.6，我遇到了这个问题。
根本原因是版本不兼容，并且索引的某些列长于191(默认值为255)。
所以解决方案很简单:让所有“索引列的长度”都小于191(例如180)

5解决方法:
在5.7.7中提高了限制(MariaDB 10.2.2?)。并且可以通过5.6(10.1)中的一些工作来增加它。
如果你因为试图使用字符集utf8mb4而达到极限。然后做以下其中一种(每一种都有缺点)来避免错误:
⚈ Upgrade to 5.7.7 for 3072 byte limit -- your cloud may not provide this;
⚈ Change 255 to 191 on the VARCHAR -- you lose any values longer than 191 characters (unlikely?);
⚈ ALTER .. CONVERT TO utf8 -- you lose Emoji and some of Chinese;
⚈ Use a "prefix" index -- you lose some of the performance benefits.
⚈ Or... Stay with older version but perform 4 steps to raise the limit to 3072 bytes:
SET GLOBAL innodb_file_format=Barracuda;
SET GLOBAL innodb_file_per_table=1;
SET GLOBAL innodb_large_prefix=1;
logout & login (to get the global values);
ALTER TABLE tbl ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC; -- (or COMPRESSED)

如果您最近修改了innodb_log_file_size，请尝试恢复之前的值。
Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes
You got that message because 1 byte equals 1 character only if you use the latin-1 character set. If you use utf8, each character will be considered 3 bytes when defining your key column. If you use utf8mb4, each character will be considered to be 4 bytes when defining your key column. Thus, you need to multiply your key field's character limit by, 1, 3, or 4 (in my example) to determine the number of bytes the key field is trying to allow. If you are using uft8mb4, you can only define 191 characters for a native, InnoDB, primary key field. Just don't breach 767 bytes.
将抱怨索引字段的CHARSET更改为“latin1” 例如:ALTER TABLE tbl CHANGE myfield varchar(600) CHARACTER SET latin1 DEFAULT NULL Latin1为一个字符使用一个字节，而不是四个
当你达到极限的时候。设置如下参数。
INNODB utf8 VARCHAR(255) INNODB utf8mb4 VARCHAR
