It's the latter part of the second sentence from the same paragraph that you quoted in your e-mail. >As well, if the key that EXPLAIN uses is multi-part, you would know >from the length of the fields. You have to use some deductive >reasoning, but I don't think it's really murky....*shrug* If you have a key combined from different integer column types and text columns then it's not very clear what the relationship between a multi-part key and key_len is. From what the manual says I initially assumed that key_len simply represented the number off key parts used. I don't think a manual suffers from things being spelt out more clearly!
