One solution to the issue of creating tables in MySQL MGR without specifying a primary key is to use either of the following two methods:

  1. You can add a primary key constraint by using the ALTER TABLE statement. For example, if you have created a table named table_name, you can execute the following statement to add a primary key constraint:
ALTER TABLE table_name ADD PRIMARY KEY (column_name);

table_name refers to the name of the table, while column_name refers to the name of the column that will serve as the primary key. Please replace them with the actual table name and column name.

  1. To enforce uniqueness without using a primary key, you can add a unique constraint. This can be done using the ALTER TABLE statement. For example, if you have a table named table_name, you can execute the following statement to add a unique constraint.
ALTER TABLE table_name ADD UNIQUE (column_name);

Replace table_name with the actual name of the table and column_name with the name of the column to which you want to add a unique constraint.

One of the methods mentioned above can be used to add a primary key or unique constraint to an existing table in order to ensure the uniqueness and consistency of the data.
