Syntax:
CREATE [UNIQUE | FULLTEXT | SPATIAL] INDEX index_name
    [index_type]
    ON tbl_name (key_part,...)
    [index_option]
    [algorithm_option | lock_option] ...

key_part:
    col_name [(length)] [ASC | DESC]

index_option: {
    KEY_BLOCK_SIZE [=] value
  | index_type
  | WITH PARSER parser_name
  | COMMENT 'string'
}

index_type:
    USING {BTREE | HASH}

algorithm_option:
    ALGORITHM [=] {DEFAULT | INPLACE | COPY}

lock_option:
    LOCK [=] {DEFAULT | NONE | SHARED | EXCLUSIVE}

Normally, you create all indexes on a table at the time the table
itself is created with CREATE TABLE. See [HELP CREATE TABLE]. This
guideline is especially important for InnoDB tables, where the primary
key determines the physical layout of rows in the data file. CREATE
INDEX enables you to add indexes to existing tables.

CREATE INDEX is mapped to an ALTER TABLE statement to create indexes.
See [HELP ALTER TABLE]. CREATE INDEX cannot be used to create a PRIMARY
KEY; use ALTER TABLE instead. For more information about indexes, see
