Hello Bob, first at all thank you for your support.

Yep this is whats happen. I first i got a corrupted table, i tried to 
repair the table following all known
strategies... then i create a table from scratch and use a perl program 
for importing data, but at the end
i got a corrupted table and no way to rapair it. This is the schema:

1)
use queries
drop table keywords;
create table keywords (querystring varchar(255), numref int(11), 
multiword smallin
t(6), date date, origine varchar(16));
create FULLTEXT INDEX qfindex ON keywords(querystring);
create INDEX qindex ON keywords(querystring);
create INDEX orindex ON keywords(origine);

2) Importing data with perl program

3) Corrupted table

The strange thing is that this is a production server used by a lot of 
programs and they works.
Now i'm tring to use ISAM (instead of MYISAM) table with such schema:

use queries
drop table keywords;
create table keywords (querystring varchar(255) NOT NULL, numref 
int(11), multiwor
d smallint(6), date date, origine varchar(16) NOT NULL) TYPE = ISAM;
create INDEX qindex ON keywords(querystring);
create INDEX orindex ON keywords(origine);

I don't know if this work at the moment it is importing...

Notice a strange thing, ISAM ask for not null definition of indexed 
fields, MYISAM not .. why ?
