MySQL UNIQUE

Recommended Posts

So if I just need one unique column, should I use primary key?
Also, I saw a tutorial online that defined one column as primary key and unique id. It looks like this:
[code]create table myBlobs
(
blobId int auto_increment not null,
blobTitle varchar(50),
blobData longblob,
blobType varchar(50),
primary key(blobId),
unique id(blobId)
);[/code]

Why would they define it as primary key and unique?

Because they don't know what they are doing.
