10.4(EOL)
Description
CREATE TABLE t (id INT AUTO_INCREMENT, a VARCHAR(1024), PRIMARY KEY(id)) ENGINE=MyISAM; |
ALTER TABLE t ADD UNIQUE(id,a); |
Since the commit below, the ALTER fails. Judging by the commit comment, it's intentional.

mysqltest: At line 2: query 'ALTER TABLE t ADD UNIQUE(id,a)' failed: 1901: Function or expression 'AUTO_INCREMENT' cannot be used in the USING HASH clause of `id` |

MDEV-26453 Assertion `0' failed in row_upd_sec_index_entry & corruption
|
|
Long UNIQUE HASH index silently creates virtual column index, which should
|
be impossible for base columns featuring AUTO_INCREMENT.
|
|
Fix: add a relevant check; add new vcol type for a prettier error message.
|
However, on 10.4, in addition to the error returned in the client, there is also an error written to the log:
2021-12-10 3:48:48 4 [ERROR] mysqld: Incorrect information in file: './test/#sql-2588c5_4.frm'
|
This error typically indicates corruption which in this case is (hopefully) a false alarm. If so, it shouldn't be there.
It doesn't happen on 10.5+, only on 10.4. Maybe it's related to 10.5+ returning a different error upon ALTER, ER_NO_AUTOINCREMENT_WITH_UNIQUE instead of ER_GENERATED_COLUMN_FUNCTION_IS_NOT_ALLOWED.
