Error #1171 - All parts of a PRIMARY KEY must be NOT NULL; if you need NULL in a key, use UNIQUE instead

[Javier Polo Cózar]

Hello,
When I try to import sql file into addressbook mysql database with:

mysql -u root -p -Daddressbook <addressbook.sql

It returns:

ERROR 1171 (42000) at line 12: All parts of a PRIMARY KEY must be NOT NULL; if you nee                                    d NULL in a key, use UNIQUE instead

It happens same if I do it via phpmyadmin

It means that deprecated field is part of PRIMARY KEY as it says here:

PRIMARY KEY (id,deprecated,domain_id),

But can't be default as it's defined here:

deprecated datetime default NULL,

So please, fix addressbook.sql file so we can import and try your app.

I guess there are other problem in definition of tables, just look at first table, addressbook!.
Thanks you in advance!

phpMyAdmin 4.8.1 gave the same result using Import...

Did you giys figure this one out?

I replaced all the 'deprecated datetime default NULL' occurencies with 'deprecated datetime default '2001-01-01'', it did work as an intermittent solution for me
