pt-online-schema-change依赖条件:
操作的表必须有主键，否则执行会报错

实验如下:
MySQL [mysql]> create database chenfeng;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

MySQL [mysql]> use chenfeng;
Database changed

创建带有主键的表test:
MySQL [chenfeng]> create table test
    -> (id int(10) not null auto_increment,
    -> k int(10) not null default '0',
    -> c char(120) not null default '',
    -> primary key(id))
    -> engine=innodb default charset=utf8;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)


MySQL [chenfeng]> desc test;
+-------+-----------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type      | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
+-------+-----------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id    | int(10)   | NO   | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment |
| k     | int(10)   | NO   |     | 0       |                |
| c     | char(120) | NO   |     |         |                |
+-------+-----------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
3 rows in set (0.01 sec)


MySQL [chenfeng]> 

MySQL [chenfeng]> show create table test\G

varchar(150）即为我们想要的结果。
