mysql教程 UNIQUE索引的使用方法詳解
語法：
UNIQUE KEY `test` (`xref_key`,`xref_dbname`)
UNIQUE KEY `xref_key` (`xref_key`,`xref_dbname`)
上述語法檢查xref_key與xref_dbname的組合是否是唯一值，可以設定多個字段的組
合。其中，test是索引表中的字段名稱。
該方法適合用來解決多個字段相互依賴，且必須滿足唯一性的條件的情況。在經常
新增或刪除資料表中auto_increment的primary key會造成大量的斷層，這類易變動的資料表
使用auto_increment並不是一個很適合的索引值，所以可以采取unique key來處理。
實例字段值不重復
CREATE TABLE `test1` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`name` varchar(11) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE KEY (`name`)
);實例
mysql> CREATE TABLE Employee(
-> id int,
-> first_name VARCHAR(15),
-> last_name VARCHAR(15),
-> start_date DATE,
-> end_date DATE,
-> salary FLOAT(8,2),
-> city VARCHAR(10),
-> description VARCHAR(15)

8 rows in set (0.03 sec)如果要給同一表兩個字段增加unique索引，那麼看實例
mysql>
mysql> CREATE TABLE myTable
-> (
-> OrderID SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
-> ModelID SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
-> Description VARCHAR(40),
-> PRIMARY KEY (OrderID),
-> UNIQUE (OrderID, ModelID)
-> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.05 sec)mysql>
mysql> desc myTable;
+-------------+----------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------------+----------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| OrderID | smallint(5) unsigned | NO | PRI | | |
| ModelID | smallint(5) unsigned | NO | | | |
| Description | varchar(40) | YES | | NULL | |
+-------------+----------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
3 rows in set (0.02 sec)下面如果我要刪除索引怎麼辦，如下實例
alter table fuinfo drop index email;
