Hi Micheal and all, ok so I did some digging around and I still can't find why I
cant drop the last few indexes.
mysql> SELECT COUNT(1) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.STATISTICS WHERE table_schema =
'db_Market' AND table_name = 'dbt_Fruit' and index_name = 'PRIMARY';
+----------+
| COUNT(1) |
+----------+
| 1 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> DESCRIBE dbt_Fruit;
+------------------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+------------------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| dbf_UID | int(10) unsigned | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| dbf_Vendor | varchar(30) | NO | | | |
| dbf_Code | varchar(30) | NO | | | |
| dbf_Notes | text | YES | | NULL | |
+------------------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
mysql> ALTER TABLE dbt_Fruit DROP FOREIGN KEY dbf_UID;
Query OK, 2947 rows affected (0.05 sec)
Records: 2947 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
mysql> ALTER TABLE dbt_Fruit DROP PRIMARY KEY;
ERROR 1075 (42000): Incorrect table definition; there can be only one auto
column and it must be defined as a key
mysql> ALTER TABLE dbt_Fruit DROP PRIMARY;
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at
line 1
Any ideas??? I am wondering if it has something to do with the fact that
dbf_UID is a primary AND auto_increment?
TIA...
Nunzio

It's not a completely solution and will need some tweaking.. You
might have to run the PRIMARY KEYS distinctly from the rest.
