对于我的表格,我在activity_id上定义了一个唯一索引 - actor_id - end_date;

mysql> show keys from sg_activity_property;
+----------------------+------------+-------------+--------------+----------------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+

+----------------------+------------+-------------+--------------+----------------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+
| sg_activity_property |          0 | PRIMARY     |            1 | activity_property_id | A         |         506 |     NULL | NULL   |      | BTREE      |         |
| sg_activity_property |          0 | activity_id |            1 | activity_id          | A         |        NULL |     NULL | NULL   |      | BTREE      |         |
| sg_activity_property |          0 | activity_id |            2 | actor_id             | A         |        NULL |     NULL | NULL   |      | BTREE      |         |
| sg_activity_property |          0 | activity_id |            3 | end_date             | A         |        NULL |     NULL | NULL   | YES  | BTREE      |         |
+----------------------+------------+-------------+--------------+----------------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

那么,这个数据怎么存在?

mysql> SELECT activity_property_id, activity_id, actor_id, start_date, end_date FROM  `sg_activity_property` WHERE  `activity_id` =250;
+----------------------+-------------+----------+---------------------+----------+
| activity_property_id | activity_id | actor_id | start_date          | end_date |
+----------------------+-------------+----------+---------------------+----------+
|                  509 |         250 |        8 | 2011-09-02 11:10:50 | NULL     |
|                  510 |         250 |        8 | 2011-09-02 11:10:50 | NULL     |
+----------------------+-------------+----------+---------------------+----------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

修改:这是SHOW CREATE TABLE sg_activity_property的输出:

mysql> SHOW CREATE TABLE sg_activity_property;

这是预期的行为。检查MySQL文档: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/create-table.html

  

UNIQUE索引创建一个约束,以便索引中的所有值   必须是截然不同的如果您尝试使用a添加新行,则会发生错误   与现有行匹配的键值。此约束不适用   除了BDB存储引擎之外的NULL值。对于其他引擎,a   UNIQUE索引允许可以包含的列的多个NULL值   NULL。

因为end_date上有NULL,所以 技术上是NULL<> EMPTY或任何值只是缺少值的占位符

所以,将其更改为NOT NULL应修复

PS:当你改变

alter table sg_activity_property 
modify column end_date datetime not null
default '0000-00-00 00:00:00';

这会失败,因为mysql会尝试将NULL转换为0000-00-00 00:00:00
为了解决这个问题,你可以先为它分配一些随机值,
或者只是删除其中一个副本

您在end_date中有NULL值。

NULL值是未定义的值,因此是两个 NULL值不相同。
