That means it's a non-unique key.

Thank you, but what does MUL stand for? Multiple keys?

I suppose it is a key since I created an index on that field.

easy question, what is MUL

2001-07-27 Thread Michael Collins

I have a table that shows MUL in the key field column, what does that indicate?

+--+--+--+-+-++
| Field| Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra  |
+--+--+--+-+-++
| ID   | smallint(5) unsigned |  | PRI | NULL| auto_increment |
| ModifiedLast | timestamp(14)| YES  | | NULL||
| CreationDate | datetime | YES  | | NULL||
| FirstName| varchar(64)  | YES  | | NULL||
| LastName | varchar(64)  | YES  | MUL | NULL||
| BirthDate| date | YES  | | NULL||
| PaidAmount   | float(6,2)   | YES  | | 0.00||
| PaidFlag | tinyint(4)   | YES  | | 0   ||
+--+--+--+-+-++
8 rows in set (0.02 sec)

This is how it is defined:

CREATE TABLE web (
   ID smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
   ModifiedLast timestamp(14) NOT NULL,
   CreationDate datetime default NULL,
   FirstName varchar(64) default NULL,
   LastName varchar(64) default NULL,
   BirthDate date default NULL,
   PaidAmount float(6,2) default '0.00',
   PaidFlag tinyint(4) default '0',
   PRIMARY KEY  (ID),
   KEY LastName (LastName)
)
