Hey all

I am trying to alter a table with adding a new column setting it as auto increment and with a key.

The table already has one key and this one will be an addition. The error I get is the following.

error : Multiple primary key defined

My code is:

alter table user add column id int (11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY FIRST;

I have also tries wrapping the key name ie

alter table user add column id int (11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY (id) KEY FIRST;

But still no luck.

How can it be done ?
