Hello,
I have a problem with the command ALTER TABLE.
For example, this simple table "test" :
+---------+---------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field   | Type          | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
+---------+---------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id      | int(10)       |      | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment |
| texte   | varchar(255)  | YES  |     | NULL    |                |
+---------+---------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

I want to modify the id column and convert it to tinyint type. The command line
is :

ALTER TABLE test MODIFY COLUMN id tinyint(3) unsigned NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
default NULL auto_increment;

I launch it and I have this error :

ERROR 1068: Multiple primary key defined

Obviously if I remove the PRIMARY KEY, it does not begin squalling...
The problem is that it's an automatic program which launches the ALTER TABLE so
I'll be happy if I can keep the "PRIMARY KEY".
This was tested on a MySQL 4.0.2 as well as on 3.23.51.
Is it a limit of ALTER ? A syntax error ?... Thank for your answers and sorry
for my english :)
Florent.
