The key_len column indicates the length of the key that MySQL decided to use. 
The length is NULL if the key column says NULL. Note that the value of key_len 
allows you to determine how many parts of a multiple-part key MySQL will 
actually use.
i do not know the definition of parameter 'ken_len'Martin
