There can be only one auto column
Note also that "key" does not necessarily mean primary key. Something like this will work:
CREATE TABLE book (
isbn BIGINT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
accepted_terms BIT(1) NOT NULL,
accepted_privacy BIT(1) NOT NULL,
INDEX(id)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
This is a contrived example and probably not the best idea, but it can be very useful in certain cases.
The full error message sounds:
ERROR 1075 (42000): Incorrect table definition; there can be only one auto column and it must be defined as a key
So add primary key
to the auto_increment
field:
CREATE TABLE book (
id INT AUTO_INCREMENT primary key NOT NULL,
accepted_terms BIT(1) NOT NULL,
accepted_privacy BIT(1) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
My MySQL says "Incorrect table definition; there can be only one auto column and it must be defined as a key" So when I added primary key as below it started working:
CREATE TABLE book (
id INT AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL,
accepted_terms BIT(1) NOT NULL,
accepted_privacy BIT(1) NOT NULL,
primary key (id)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
CREATE TABLE book (
id INT AUTO_INCREMENT primary key NOT NULL,
accepted_terms BIT(1) NOT NULL,
accepted_privacy BIT(1) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
