#mysql 筆記#索引長度限制

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/create-index.html
Prefix support and lengths of prefixes (where supported) are storage engine dependent. For example, a prefix can be up to 1000 bytes long for MyISAM tables, and 767 bytes for InnoDB tables。

1 character：latin1->1 byte，gbk-> 2 bytes，utf8 -> 3 bytes;

不同引擎的前綴長度限制不同
myisam:1000 bytes，索引總長度不能超過1000byte
innodb:767 bytes，索引中單列的前綴長度不能超過767byte
