Yikes! Are you running into any file system limits? Have you dealt with files larger than 4 GB on that server before with no problems? If not, you may have run into a MySQL bug of some sort. An alternative way to get the table to have 5-byte pointers would be to create the new table (same CREATE TABLE query as for the old structure, except add "MAX_ROWS=700000 AVG_ROW_LENGTH=20000" to the end) and then copy all the records into it: INSERT INTO email_body_NEW SELECT * FROM email_body; Actually, the exact figures for MAX_ROWS and AVG_ROW_LENGTH shouldn't matter, as long as their product is between 2**32 and 2**40 - 1. -- Keith C.
