Answer : MYSQL - Specified Key was too long! Help!
No, it's the size of the fields you're trying to make unique. 6 fields times 255 = 1530 characters. If it's UTF-8, the fields could be up to 3 times larger because 1 UTF-8 character can be 3 bytes long. Maybe you could re-examine your data and see if the field sizes can be reduced or if maybe not all of them need to be unique.
