This is the structure of a particular table in Sequel Pro:
This is that same table structure as viewed on the command line:
Here is the output of SHOW CREATE TABLE field_data_field_checklist_status
:
| field_data_field_checklist_status |
CREATE TABLE `field_data_field_checklist_status` (
`entity_type` varchar(128) NOT NULL DEFAULT '' COMMENT 'The entity type this data is attached to',

`deleted` tinyint(4) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0' COMMENT 'A boolean indicating whether this data item has been deleted',
`entity_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL COMMENT 'The entity id this data is attached to',
`revision_id` int(10) unsigned DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'The entity revision id this data is attached to, or NULL if the entity type is not versioned',

I am fairly confident that the MySQL command line table structure is the accurate one. This is a Drupal field table.
Does anyone know why there would be a discrepancy?
Could it be that there's both a primary key that has entity_type
as a column, and a multiple key that has it as a column? Then the value of Key
would be ambiguous, and it would explain the inconsistency.
The best way to inspect keys in MySQL is to run
SHOW CREATE TABLE field_data_field_checklist_status;
It will show you the actual keys, with the order of columns within them.
