当一个表中设置了主键之后,如果想要删除主键了要怎么做?下面本篇文章就给大家介绍MySQL删除主键的方法,希望对你们有所帮助。
首先我们来看看删除主键的语法:ALTER TABLE TABLE_NAME DROP PRIMARY KEY;
在MySQL中删除主键要考虑两种情况:
1、主键列不带任何约束,可以直接删除主键的情况
例:mysql> create table test1_3(
-> id int not null primary key,
-> name char(10)
-> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
我们可以直接使用drop来删除主键mysql> alter table test1_3 drop primary key;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)
Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
2、如果是自增(AUTO_INCREMENT属性)的主键
例:mysql> create table test1_2(
-> id int not null auto_increment,
-> name char(10),-> primary key(id)
-> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> desc test1_2;
+-------+----------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+----------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| name | char(10) | YES | | NULL | |
+-------+----------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
如果直接删除,会报错mysql> alter table test1_2 drop primary key;
输出:ERROR 1075 (42000): Incorrect table definition; there can be only one auto column and it must be defined as a key
#这说明此列是自动增长列,无法直接删除
列的属性还带有AUTO_INCREMENT,那么要先将这个列的自动增长属性去掉,才可以删除主键。mysql> alter table test1_2 modify id int;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)
Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
mysql> alter table test1_2 drop primary key;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)
Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
