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

当你达到极限的时候。设置如下参数。
INNODB utf8 VARCHAR(255) INNODB utf8mb4 VARCHAR
其他回答
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)
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.
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
请检查sql_mode是否为like
sql_mode=NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES
如果是，则更改为
sql_mode=NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION
OR
重新启动服务器，修改my.cnf文件(如下所示)
innodb_large_prefix=on
