Hi Julien
This must be a bug in the SCO port.
Mysql usually doesn't declare columns NOT NULL by itself.
Normally you have to explicitly declare them that way.
In 3.22.xx you have to declare columns as NOT NULL, if you want to use KEYs on them.
This is independent from the type of key you want to use (KEY, UNIQUE or PRIMARY KEY).
In 3.23.2 you can create keys also on columns declared as NULL.
