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

对于这个问题,我自己的解决方案比降低表的VARCHAR大小更简单,也更安全。

情况:CentOS 7服务器运行Plesk Obsidian 18.0.37和MariaDB 5.5。我试图从运行MariaDB 10.1的服务器导入MySQL转储。

解决方案:从MariaDB 5.5升级到10.6。

这些步骤大致基于以下指南和以下指南:

mysqldump -u admin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` --all-databases --routines --triggers > /root/all-databases.sql systemctl stop mariadb cp -a /var/lib/mysql/ /var/lib/mysql_backup Configure MariaDB repositories according to the official guide Make sure you meet Plesk's minimum version requirements detailed here yum install MariaDB-client MariaDB-server MariaDB-compat MariaDB-shared systemctl start mariadb In my case, the server failed to start here with an error: "Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port. Got error: 22: Invalid argument". The fix was to replace bind-address as follows in /etc/my.cnf and re-run the command: [mysqld] # OLD (broken) #bind-address = ::ffff:127.0.0.1 # NEW bind-address = 127.0.0.1 MYSQL_PWD=`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` mysql_upgrade -uadmin plesk sbin packagemng -sdf rm -f /etc/init.d/mysql systemctl daemon-reload

其他回答

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。

有关如何在MySQL数据库中使用长索引的更多信息,请参阅本文中的长索引部分:http://hanoian.com/content/index.php/24-automate-the-converting-a-mysql-database-character-set-to-utf8mb4

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。

只是在创建表时将utf8mb4更改为utf8就解决了我的问题。例如:CREATE TABLE…DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_unicode_ci;创建表…DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;

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.

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
