Cannot create UNIQUE index USING HASH algorithm in child columns

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      Run the following statements, in which the index `i1` cannot be created.

      -- case 1
      		 
      CREATE TABLE t1 (c1 CHARACTER CHARACTER SET `BINARY` PRIMARY KEY);
      		 
      CREATE TABLE t2 (c1 BIT, FOREIGN KEY (c1) REFERENCES t1(c1));
      		 
      CREATE UNIQUE INDEX i1 USING HASH ON t2(c1); -- [HY000][1025] (conn=31) Error on rename of './test/#sql-alter-1-1f' to './test/t2' (errno: 150 "Foreign key constraint is incorrectly formed")

      However, when removing the UNIQUE in the CREATE INDEX statement, the index `i1` is created.

      -- case 2
      		 
      CREATE TABLE t1 (c1 CHARACTER CHARACTER SET `BINARY` PRIMARY KEY);
      		 
      CREATE TABLE t2 (c1 BIT, FOREIGN KEY (c1) REFERENCES t1(c1));
      		 
      CREATE INDEX i1 USING HASH ON t2(c1); -- Succeed

      It seems that the newly created index in case 1 cannot be used in FOREIGN KEY, while the index in case 2 is appliable.

      I think the UNIQUE constraint should not cause such difference. Moreover, according to the manual, the columns in the child table must be a BTREE, instead of HASH. It means that the index in case 2 should not be appliable.
