Hi,

I get the error message "Error Message - specified key was too long max key length is 767 bytes" when creating an indexed table. I have looked up the error and there are a lot of references to it which I don't understand. The key length is 258 bytes .
CREATE TABLE `nplayerseasonteam`(
`nplayerseasonteamkey1` VARCHAR(258) NOT NULL ,
`nplayerseasonteamteam` VARCHAR(80) NOT NULL ,
`nplayerseasonteamsur` VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL ,
`nplayerseasonteamfir` VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL ,
`nplayerseasonteamposn1` CHAR(2) NOT NULL ,
`nplayerseasonteamsur2` VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL ,
`nplayerseasonteamfir2` VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL ,
`nplayerseasonteamposn2` CHAR(2) NOT NULL ,
`nplayerseasonteamseason` CHAR(6) NOT NULL ,
`nplayerseasonteamdate` CHAR(8) NOT NULL ,
`nplayerseasonteamtotal` INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
PRIMARY KEY (`nplayerseasonteamkey1`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

I don't know how to get past this. I have created this table before with no issues but this time I had to rebuild my PC and start all as new and this is the result.
Thks,
Mike
