Hello group, My table look like this: CREATE TABLE `mda_models` ( `model_id` int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment, `make_id` int(10) NOT NULL default '0', `model_name` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '', `model_phase` varchar(100) default NULL, `model_phase_no` int(4) default NULL, `model_manufacturer_name` text, `model_type` int(10) NOT NULL default '0', `model_wage` int(4) default NULL, `update_date` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00', `update_user_id` int(10) NOT NULL default '0', `add_date` date NOT NULL default '0000-00-00', `pricelist_start_date` date NOT NULL default '0000-00-00', `pricelist_end_date` date NOT NULL default '9999-12-31', `sales_end_date` date NOT NULL default '9999-12-31', PRIMARY KEY (`model_id`,`make_id`), UNIQUE KEY `model` (`model_name`,`model_phase`,`model_phase_no`,`model_type`,`make_id`), KEY `make_id` (`make_id`), KEY `model_id` (`model_id`), KEY `model_type` (`model_type`), FOREIGN KEY (`make_id`) REFERENCES `mda_makes` (`make_id`), FOREIGN KEY (`model_type`) REFERENCES `set_mda_car_types` (`type_id`) ) TYPE=InnoDB
As you see there is the unique key called "model". There are several fields, some of them can be null.. Look at this insert querys: INSERT INTO mda_models (make_id, model_name, model_phase, model_phase_no, model_type) VALUES (42, 'Test model', NULL, NULL, 1); INSERT INTO mda_models (make_id, model_name, model_phase, model_phase_no, model_type) VALUES (42, 'Test model', NULL, NULL, 1); MySQL should send an error before second query, that there is the record which is the same as the inserting one... But NO, you can add as many as you want... Is this a bug or I'm doing something wrong. I would be appreciated for help!!
