Hi there, I am pretty new on MySQL. I am running a website, it needs a fulltext search on the message board.
The message board table is setup without the fulltext column now. So when I ALTER TABLE to add a new column FULLTEXT(title, body)? The index will be created? In my table, the 'body' column was define as BLOB, should I change it TEXT before add the new FULLTEXT column? And what is the best to ALTER the column from BLOB to TEXT without messing up the data. Thanks a lot, --Clemson --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
