Can be done: mysql> CREATE TABLE tb -> ( -> id TINYBLOB NOT NULL, -> PRIMARY KEY (id(255)) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) You need to say how many chars you want the index to run to, max is 255 I think - check the docs.

We set the VarChar to binary, but from what I'm reading the binary setting doesn't affect storage just sorting and evaluations. I was able to get the binary storate I needed in a TinyBlob but I can't set this to a primary key. Is there a work around for this?
