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
当前回答
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。

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)

我发现这个查询在检测哪些列的索引违反了最大长度方面很有用:
SELECT
c.TABLE_NAME As TableName,
c.COLUMN_NAME AS ColumnName,
c.DATA_TYPE AS DataType,
c.CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH AS ColumnLength,
s.INDEX_NAME AS IndexName
FROM information_schema.COLUMNS AS c
INNER JOIN information_schema.statistics AS s
ON s.table_name = c.TABLE_NAME
AND s.COLUMN_NAME = c.COLUMN_NAME
WHERE c.TABLE_SCHEMA = DATABASE()
AND c.CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH > 191
AND c.DATA_TYPE IN ('char', 'varchar', 'text')
以下是我最初的回答:
我只是删除数据库并像这样重新创建，错误就消失了: 如果rhodes存在，则删除数据库;创建数据库rhodes default 字符集utf8默认COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
然而，它并不适用于所有情况。
这实际上是在字符集为utf8(或utf8mb4)的VARCHAR列上使用索引的问题，而VARCHAR列的字符长度超过一定长度。对于utf8mb4，这个长度是191。

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.
