There is a better way which don t need you to alter the table   mysql gt  DROP INDEX email ON fuinfo    where email is the name of unique key  index    You can also bring it back like that   mysql gt  CREATE UNIQUE INDEX email ON fuinfo email     where email after IDEX is the name of the index and it s not optional  You can use KEY instead of INDEX   Also it s possible to create  remove  multicolumn unique indecies like that   mysql gt  CREATE UNIQUE INDEX email fid ON fuinfo email  fid   mysql gt  DROP INDEX email fid ON fuinfo    If you didn t specify the name of multicolumn index you can remove it like that   mysql gt  DROP INDEX email ON fuinfo    where email is the column name

mysql  DROP INDEX email ON fuinfo   where email is the unique key  rather than the column name   You find the name of the unique key by   mysql gt  SHOW CREATE TABLE fuinfo    here you see the name of the unique key  which could be email 2  for example  So     mysql gt  DROP INDEX email 2 ON fuinfo   mysql gt  DESCRIBE fuinfo    This should show that the index is removed
