Question

I run this query:

SHOW INDEX FROM `tbl_clients`

I get back these:

Table,
Non_unique,
Key_name,
Seq_in_index,
Column_name,
Collation,
Cardinality,
Sub_part,
Null,
Index_type,
Comment

I am pretty sure the Key_name is for human recognizing purposes only. But before I start creating my indexes, I wanted to be sure I was correct.

If I’m correct, I intend to name my primary keys PRIMARY, rather than the same name of the Column_name.

So, I really just need someone to validate me, or tell me otherwise.

Answer 1

The name is for humans only, so don’t worry
