Soluzione alternativa in mysql per indice parziale o indice filtrato?

Gli indici filtrati possono essere emulati con indici di funzione e CASE espressione(MySQL 8.0.13 e successivi):

CREATE TABLE t(id INT PRIMARY KEY, myColumn VARCHAR(100));

-- NULL are not taken into account with `UNIQUE` indexes   
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX myIndex ON t((CASE WHEN myColumn <> 'myText' THEN myColumn END));


-- inserting excluded value twice
INSERT INTO t(id, myColumn) VALUES(1, 'myText'), (2, 'myText');

-- trying to insert different value than excluded twice
INSERT INTO t(id, myColumn) VALUES(3, 'aaaaa');

INSERT INTO t(id, myColumn) VALUES(4, 'aaaaa');
-- Duplicate entry 'aaaaa' for key 'myIndex'

SELECT * FROM t;
