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
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)

在MySQL 5.6(以及之前的版本)中,767字节是InnoDB表的前缀限制。MyISAM表有1000字节长。在MySQL版本5.7(及以上)中,此限制已增加到3072字节。
您还必须注意,如果在utf8mb4编码的大char或varchar字段上设置索引,则必须将最大索引前缀长度767字节(或3072字节)除以4,结果为191。这是因为utf8mb4字符的最大长度是4个字节。对于utf8字符,它将是三个字节,导致最大索引前缀长度为255(或减去空结束符,254个字符)。
一个选择是在VARCHAR字段上设置下限。
另一种选择(根据对这个问题的响应)是获取列的子集,而不是整个数量,即:
ALTER TABLE `mytable` ADD UNIQUE ( column1(15), column2(200) );
根据需要进行调整以获得要应用的键,但我想知道是否值得检查关于这个实体的数据模型,看看是否有可能进行改进,从而允许您在不触及MySQL限制的情况下实现预期的业务规则。
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.
