FULLTEXT search questions
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.

RE: FULLTEXT search questions
'Body' column was converted from BLOB to TEXT as it shown in the description. How come the FULLTEXT still thinks it is a BLOB? Please tell me if you know any work around.

RE: interesting find
Thanks. I will try to relax now. But I didn't do any work today. :) --Clemson Do you know the answer to my BLOB/TEXT question I posted earlier. I altered a BLOB column to TEXT, but FULLTEXT still thinks it's a BLOB. What do I do to use this column in FULL TEXT?

Uhh, no. It means it's been patched by [EMAIL PROTECTED] to do something different than the stock texi2html (which is open source, btw, see http://www.mathematik.uni-kl.de/~obachman/Texi2html/) Those of us that do work in the non-Microsoft world usually use mostly open-source software, because that's just the way it is. You won't usually find a lot of warez being used by Unix people, because there really isn't that much to crack (which is different than hack btw), because you can get pretty much everything you need/want (including MySQL in most cases) without cost, legally :) It's Friday. Maybe you should go relax a little :) -Mark -- For technical support contracts, visit https://order.mysql.com/?ref=mmma __ ___ ___ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Mark Matthews [EMAIL PROTECTED] / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ MySQL AB, Full-Time Developer - JDBC/Java /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ Flossmoor (Chicago), IL USA ___/ www.mysql.com - 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?
