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

如果您最近修改了innodb_log_file_size,请尝试恢复之前的值。

其他回答

为了解决这个问题,这个方法对我很有效。

ALTER DATABASE dbname CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

如果你要创建如下内容:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS your_table (
  id int(7) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  name varchar(256) COLLATE utf8mb4_bin NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (id),
  UNIQUE KEY name (name)
) ENGINE=INNODB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ROW_FORMAT=FIXED;

应该是这样的

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS your_table (
      id int(7) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
      name varchar(256) COLLATE utf8mb4_bin NOT NULL,
      PRIMARY KEY (id)
    ) ENGINE=INNODB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ROW_FORMAT=FIXED;

但是您需要从代码中检查该列的唯一性,或者添加一个新列作为varchar列的MD5或SHA1

在查询之前运行此查询:

SET @@global.innodb_large_prefix = 1;

这将把限制增加到3072字节。

我从varchar变成了nvarchar,对我有用。

Laravel框架解决方案

根据Laravel 5.4。*文档;你必须在app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php文件的引导方法中设置默认字符串长度,如下所示:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

public function boot() 
{
    Schema::defaultStringLength(191); 
}

Laravel 5.4对这个修复的解释。*文档:

Laravel uses the utf8mb4 character set by default, which includes support for storing "emojis" in the database. If you are running a version of MySQL older than the 5.7.7 release or MariaDB older than the 10.2.2 release, you may need to manually configure the default string length generated by migrations in order for MySQL to create indexes for them. You may configure this by calling the Schema::defaultStringLength method within your AppServiceProvider. Alternatively, you may enable the innodb_large_prefix option for your database. Refer to your database's documentation for instructions on how to properly enable this option.
