Hello,

Through some strange quirk in my MySQL console application (an older version of 
PHPMyAdmin), 4 indexes that I created on different columns of a table all resulted in 
indexes with the same keyname, that of the first column that was indexed.  The field 
of each index is correct, just the keyname is wrong on 3 of them.

      Keyname Unique Field Action 

      BUYAGENTID No BUYAGENTID Drop 
      BUYAGENTID No SELLAGENTID Drop 
      BUYAGENTID No BUYACCOUNTID Drop 
      BUYAGENTID No SELLACCOUNTID Drop 


I noticed that the 3 indexes with the wrong keyname are never used, even with simple 
queries where they definitely should be used.  I need to change the keyname of these 
indexes without having to drop and re-create them as this table is now *very* large 
and it would take hours to reindex 3 columns.  Any assistance in changing the keyname, 
either through common commands or low-level file editing, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot!

Chad Attermann
