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

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.

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

您可以添加长列的md5列

当你达到极限的时候。设置如下参数。

INNODB utf8 VARCHAR(255) INNODB utf8mb4 VARCHAR

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;

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)
