情况:我在表上创建了唯一的复合索引，这花了一些时间，没有删除重复的记录，也没有阻止我插入重复的行。
有人知道这里发生了什么吗？
表结构:
> DESCRIBE translations;
+-------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| text | text | NO | | NULL | |
| language_id | int(11) | NO | MUL | NULL | |
| parent_id | int(11) | YES | MUL | NULL | |
| type | varchar(255) | YES | MUL | NULL | |
| flag | varchar(255) | YES | MUL | NULL | |
+-------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
索引创建:
> ALTER IGNORE TABLE `translations`
ADD UNIQUE `unique_translations`
(`language_id`, `parent_id`, `type`, `flag`);
Query OK, 12225526 rows affected (4 min 51.91 sec)

最佳答案
在以下四列上使用多列唯一索引，以下记录都将被允许并且不会被视为重复:
language_id | parent_id | type | flag
------------------------------------------------------
50 | 1 | text2 | text3
50 | NULL | text2 | text3
50 | NULL | text2 | text3
50 | 1 | text2 | NULL
请记住，NULL 表示未知。尽管对 NULL 值进行了索引，但与 NULL 相比的任何值都会返回 NULL。为了使值被视为重复，它们必须通过相等测试，但是:
1 != NULL
NULL != NULL
关于mysql - MariaDB/MySQL 复合唯一索引无效，我们在Stack Overflow上找到一个类似的问题： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27785431/
