MySQL 1068

This error occurs when attempting to create multiple primary keys on a table. It indicates that only one primary key can be created for a table.

How It Affects Your App

MySQL 1068 ER_MULTIPLE_PRI_KEY indicates that multiple primary keys have been defined for a table. This can cause issues with data integrity, as the database will not be able to determine which primary key should be used to uniquely identify a row. This can lead to data inconsistency and incorrect results when querying the database. Additionally, it can cause issues with data manipulation, as the database will not be able to determine which primary key should be used to update or delete a row.
