How do I specify unique constraint for multiple columns in MySQL?

Question

I have a table:

table votes (
    id,
    user,
    email,
    address,
    primary key(id),
);

Now I want to make the columns user, email, address unique (together).

How do I do this in MySql?

Of course the example is just... an example. So please don't worry about the semantics.

Answer 1

ALTER TABLE `votes` ADD UNIQUE `unique_index`(`user`, `email`, `address`);
