CREATE TABLE t1 (id INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, c1 INT NOT NULL);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.11 sec)
INSERT INTO t1 (c1) VALUES (1),(2),(3),(4),(5);
Query OK, 5 rows affected (0.03 sec)
Records: 5 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE c1 = 3;

MySQL 兼容性
- 不支持
FULLTEXT，HASH和SPATIAL索引。 - 不支持降序索引（类似于 MySQL 5.7）。
- 目前尚不支持在一条中同时添加多个索引。
- 无法向表中添加
CLUSTERED类型的PRIMARY KEY。要了解关于CLUSTERED主键的详细信息，请参考聚簇索引。
