          Description

          The MariaDB page for AUTO_INCREMENT (https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/auto_increment/) says that the AUTO_INCREMENT column in a table "must be the PRIMARY KEY or a UNIQUE key." But the AUTO_INCREMENT FAQ page (https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/autoincrement-faq/) says "it only has to be indexed. It doesn't even have to be unique."
