I have no idea what this error is trying to tell me...

I have a table called "Headlines" which contains a VARCHAR(255) field
called "Url". I need to store larger values in the "Url" column, so I
want to convert it to TINYTEXT.

---snip---

mysql> alter table Headlines modify Url TINYTEXT NOT NULL;

ERROR 1170: BLOB column 'Url' used in key specification without a key length

---snip---

There is currently a unique index on the Url column. The manual states
that one can have an index on a BLOB column:

    http://www.mysql.com/doc/B/L/BLOB.html

So I don't see the problem.

A search of the mail archives has turned up nothing. A search of
google also turned up nothing helpful.

Any ideas?

This is MySQL 3.23.29.
