How is key length for a table defined?  It seems that the default is 255
bytes, but in the online docs it mentions 500 byte keys.  I happen to
have some very long case sensitive strings that I need to use as keys,
but mysql complains when I try to create a table as such

CREATE TABLE foo(
        id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
        name BLOB NOT NULL,
        PRIMARY KEY(id),
        UNIQUE(name)
);

Any thoughts?
