Hi,
         I'm a bit desperate and have some questions to ask.

I'm working with my own compiled server 3.23.33 on SuSe 7.0
I have table:

mysql> desc test.http_refer;
+-------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type             | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
+-------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| rid   | int(10) unsigned |      | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment |
| refer | varchar(255)     | YES  | UNI | NULL    |                |
+-------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

The data of table is referrer field from our Apache server logs. Most of
it is some URLs from search engines, for example:

http://listings.altavista.com/scripts/gt.dll?type=main&method=search&kl=lt&dd=nsp&stq=30&rank=30&q=sajungos&nbq=10&glastQuery=Keywords%3dsajungos&grank=0
 


Some rows have refer of 255 chars long.

Why queries:

select rid,length(refer) from http_refer
select rid,max(length(refer)) from http_refer group by refer

WORKS just fine, while queries:

select length(refer) from http_refer;
select max(length(refer)) from http_refer;
select max(length(refer)) from http_refer group by refer;

just HANGS, and I have kill them after a while???

Is it incorrect queries or problems with table data or maybe these queries 
is long runnig?

If anyone could shed some light on this issue I would be very appreciate.
Thanks anyway.
