[dev] Redundant index in table mnemo_memos?

In the definition of table mnemo_memos we have:
PRIMARY KEY (memo_owner, memo_id)
and then
CREATE INDEX mnemo_notepad_idx ON mnemo_memos (memo_owner);
When I look at that table structure in phpMyAdmin, it warns:
PRIMARY and INDEX keys should not both be set for column `memo_owner`
I've read somewhere that having an index on the same field (memo_owner
in this case) that leads a primary key is redundant, at least in MySQL.
Cheers,
Luciano
