Hi Jacco, Perhaps the manual needs to be enhanced, but it is only a guide, perhaps the language should be softened or 'error 136' modified that it could be either problem. Either way I hope this fixes you problem, my guess would be you have very large rows of data, which is why you did not hit the error 135 first. I hope this takes care of it for you, we have created very large tables (150 million rows) and had good success, as have others. If this does not fix it we may have dig a little deeper. Let us know.
Best of luck, Ken ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jacco van Schaik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 12:00 PM Subject: Re: "No more room in index file" > So then Ken Menzel says... > > Check out > > MAX_ROWS = # > > and > > AVG_ROW_LENGTH = # > > options in http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/CREATE_TABLE.html > > > > Set MAX_ROWS to a very very large number > > You can set these with ALTER TABLE.
