mysql 索引大小限制_MySQL索引的大小限制是什么意思？

I have a table created like so:

CREATE TABLE `my_table` (

`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,

`info` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,

`some_more_info` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL

PRIMARY KEY (`id`),

KEY `my_index` (`some_more_info`,`info`(24)),

) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8

My question is about the second key called my_index. What does the "(24)" size limit mean? The actual size of the column is 50, but the index is only 24 characters.

Does this mean that MySQL indexes only the first 24 characters of the column info?

In short, yes, the first 24 characters are taken into consideration to build the BTree index. Indexing limits are assigned to text types such as varchar and text, as they don't affect numeric precision.
