我认为varchar(20)只需要21个字节，而varchar(500)只需要 需要501字节。所以总字节数是522，小于767。那么,为什么 我收到错误信息了吗?

UTF8每个字符需要3个字节来存储字符串，因此在您的情况下，20 +500字符= 20*3+500*3 = 1560字节，这超过了允许的767字节。

UTF8的限制是767/3 = 255个字符，对于每个字符使用4个字节的UTF8mb4，它是767/4 = 191个字符。

如果您需要使用比限制更长的列，有两种解决方案:

Use "cheaper" encoding (the one that requires less bytes per character) In my case, I needed to add Unique index on column containing SEO string of article, as I use only [A-z0-9\-] characters for SEO, I used latin1_general_ci which uses only one byte per character and so column can have 767 bytes length. Create hash from your column and use unique index only on that The other option for me was to create another column which would store hash of SEO, this column would have UNIQUE key to ensure SEO values are unique. I would also add KEY index to original SEO column to speed up look up.

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')

索引长度& MySQL / MariaDB

Laravel默认使用utf8mb4字符集，其中包括在数据库中存储“表情符号”的支持。如果您运行的MySQL版本比5.7.7版本更老，或者MariaDB版本比10.2.2版本更老，您可能需要手动配置由迁移生成的默认字符串长度，以便MySQL为它们创建索引。你可以在AppServiceProvider中调用Schema::defaultStringLength方法来配置:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema; /** * Bootstrap any application services. * * @return void */ public function boot() { Schema::defaultStringLength(191); } 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. Reference from blog : https://www.scratchcode.io/specified-key-too-long-error-in-laravel/ Reference from Official laravel documentation : https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/migrations

laravel 5.7到9.0

应遵循的步骤

进入App\Providers\AppServiceProvider.php。 将此添加到提供商使用Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;在顶部。 在Boot函数中添加这个Schema::defaultStringLength(191);

就这些，好好享受吧。

在我的例子中，我在使用linux重定向输出/输入字符备份数据库时遇到了这个问题。因此，我按照下面的描述更改语法。PS:使用linux或mac终端。

备份(没有>重定向)

# mysqldump -u root -p databasename -r bkp.sql

恢复(不带< redirect)

# mysql -u root -p --default-character-set=utf8 databasename
mysql> SET names 'utf8'
mysql> SOURCE bkp.sql

错误“指定的键太长;最大密钥长度是767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)
