Index creation CAN take a long time, but I've never known it last 11 days :) but then I've never tried it on a table with 302 million records (although I'm sure others here have). My suggestion would have been - why not take say 10,000 records and just test the index creation on that small sub-set of the data? If it works without error then you know it will (should?) eventually finish on the final massive set. -- Best regards, Richard Davey http://www.phpcommunity.org/wiki/296.html -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
