MySQLMan Help

You can see the property of a table by following the "properties" link in table list or tool bar. Two tables will be displayed in the the page: property table and key table.

• Property Table
  The table shows the result of a DESCRIBE table_name query. You can find the following functions available at the end of each field in the property table:
  Change
  Change column definition

  Drop
  Remove the column from the table.
  (action will be confirmed)

  Primary
  Set the column as the primary key for the table.

  Please note that if you need a primary key consisting of two or more columns, you will need to specify it when creating the table in MySQLMan. If there is a primary key already existed in the table, then you will receive the error message Duplicate key name 'key_name'.

  Also, if you set a column as the primary by clicking "primary", the column will be set to NOT NULL automatically.

  Index
  Set the column as a index key for the table.

  Unique
  Set the column as a unique key for the table.

• Key Table
  A key table will be shown here as well if there are any keys defined in the table.
  Droppign a key
  A key can be dropped by clicking on "Drop". Please note that you will not be prompted to confirm the action to drop.
