First off, thanks for the great work on MySQL. I'm just now learning
SQL, and it's great to have a robust, free implementation to learn on.
I'm using Martin Gruber's book _Understanding SQL_ as a basic
reference (along with mysql.info). The book indicates that UNIQUE
should be available as a column constraint:
| CREATE TABLE Foo (
| bar INTEGER NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, # ok so far
| baz INTEGER NOT NULL UNIQUE # MySQL doesn't like "UNIQUE" here.
| );
It's easy enough to work around; remove UNIQUE from the 'baz'
definition above, and add
| UNIQUE (baz)
to the table defintion.
It seems like it would be easy enough to add to MySQL, since it
already supports PRIMARY KEY. Or am I missing something blindingly
obvious? Since I'm a beginner, I wouldn't be surprised. :)
Thanks again,
t.
