RE: printing reports
About Access I can only say that it's very useful tool for a lot of people and there is a lot of places where it makes perfect sense to use Access. I don't claim it's a perfect reporting tool for all kind of reports, but depending on the requirements it may be the right tool for a specific problem/user combination. (I will not go into details as this is not important for this discussion; I am sure anyone with a little goodwill can come up with a scenario where Access would be a reasonable solution). I certainly can. We have a client who is using Access as a report writer/generator for a back-end SQL Server database, whom we are trying to convince to move to MySQL on the back-end. One of the advantages to using Access on the front end is that there's little work that needs to be done to move their reports and data from SQL Server to MySQL (just regenerate the ODBC links from SQL Server to MySQL and you're pretty much done), and the end-users all love Access for its ease in producing reports. Anything else more powerful would be unusable - when I say end user, that's exactly what I mean - very non-technical. Access is a very good tool to give them, because they can produce ad-hoc reports to their heart's content without having to ask the IT staff for assistance. -- Ed Carp, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (850) 291-1563 Director, Software Development Escapade Server-Side Scripting Engine Development Team Squished Mosquito, Inc.

RE: Question about AUTO_INCREMENT
From http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Miscellaneous_functions.html:
LAST_INSERT_ID([expr])
Returns the last automatically generated value that was inserted into an
AUTO_INCREMENT column. See section 8.4.3.126 mysql_insert_id().
mysql SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();
- 195
The last ID that was generated is maintained in the server on a
per-connection basis. It will not be changed by another client. It will not
even be changed if you update another AUTO_INCREMENT column with a
non-magic value (that is, a value that is not NULL and not 0). If you
insert many rows at the same time with an insert statement,
LAST_INSERT_ID() returns the value for the first inserted row. The reason
for this is to make it possible to easily reproduce the same INSERT
statement against some other server. If expr is given as an argument to
LAST_INSERT_ID(), then the value of the argument is returned by the
function, and is set as the next value to be returned by LAST_INSERT_ID().
This can be used to simulate sequences: First create the table:
mysql CREATE TABLE sequence (id INT NOT NULL);
mysql INSERT INTO sequence VALUES (0);
Then the table can be used to generate sequence numbers like this:
mysql UPDATE sequence SET id=LAST_INSERT_ID(id+1);
You can generate sequences without calling LAST_INSERT_ID(), but the
utility of using the function this way is that the ID value is maintained
in the server as the last automatically generated value (multi-user safe).
You can retrieve the new ID as you would read any normal AUTO_INCREMENT
value in MySQL. For example, LAST_INSERT_ID() (without an argument) will
return the new ID. The C API function mysql_insert_id() can also be used to
get the value. Note that as mysql_insert_id() is only updated after INSERT
and UPDATE statements, so you can't use the C API function to retrieve the
value for LAST_INSERT_ID(expr) after executing other SQL statements like
SELECT or SET.

Subject: Question about AUTO_INCREMENT
Hello,
I'm a newbie in MySQL and also in this mailing list.
I've a problem and I hope some gurus can help me.
So the question is: How to obtain an index of the row which is inserted ?
for example :
INSERT INTO some_tbl (ID,field1) VALUES ('','blahblahblah');
I need 'ID' to use as reference value in different rows in another table.
Is it possible to get 'ID' in the same query or I need to do
something else?
Thanks,
Roman

It's not a MySQL problem, but a problem how you're opening the recordset. In VB, you would set the DBSQLPassThru flag - I don't know what the equivalent is in Windows C. The problem is that the client is downloading the entire record set and oding the select on the PC when you do the open - that's why it takes longer the bigger your table is. - 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?

RE: about use Dev-cpp and C++
what's nested SQL?
can you tell me more about it?
Nested SQL allows you to do all kinds of interesting things in MySQL that
you can't do now - sub-selects, for example; or if you're a lazy programmer
(like me!) you want to do grouping and sorting in ways that would be
difficult (and complicated) with an ordinary SQL query.
For example, suppose you had two tables - a users table and a messages
table. You suspect that you've got orphaned records in the messages table,
but you're not sure. You also want to do other stuff to each message as
you go through it. So, you decide that you want to iterate through each
record in the users table, setting a flag in the messages table for each
message that isn't orphaned:
char cmd[256];
/* you could also do an ExecuteSQL() here, too */
OpenRecordset(update messages set OK='N');
CloseRecordset();
/* or ExecuteSQL (update messages set OK='N'); */
OpenRecordset(select * from users);
while(RecordsetEOF() != EOF)
{
/* ID in the users table has a one-to-many relationship to usersID in the
messages table */
sprintf(cmd, update messages set OK='Y' where usersID=%s,
GetField(ID));
OpenRecordset(cmd);
CloseRecordset();
/* could also do a ExecuteSQL(cmd); */
MoveNext();
}
CloseRecordset();
/* now, we want to see which records are orphaned */
OpenRecordset(select * from messages where OK='Y');
while(RecordsetEOF() != EOF)
{
/* do whatever here */
MoveNext();
}
CloseRecordset();
Of course, this is a simple example. PLEASE DON'T POST QUERIES SHOWING HOW
THIS COULD BE DONE EASIER OR FASTER OR WHATEVER IN SQL! I'm sure you can
think of a lot of other examples where doing a sub-select would be very
cool, but MySQL doesn't support it.

RE: Connecting to MySQL on Linux from a Windows machine.
Thank you, but at this point I am pretty sure that my problem is not a matter of entries in the user table. When I attempt to telnet into port 3306 the connection is immediately dropped. I don't really know if any connection is actually established at all, it may be established and immediately dropped on simply refused from the start. There does not appear to be any exchange of user names or passwords. I have several variations of my username and host name in the user table. I believe that one of them should have worked if that was the problem. If you try and telnet to port 3306 on the machine that MySQL is running on, you will see the connection being established, then you'll see garbage, as MySQL is designed to talk to clients on that port, not humans ;) If you are seeing the connection being established, then *immediately* dropped, not refused, then the problem may be in MySQL. If the connection is refused, this is a different issue. Depending on what version of MySQL and Linux/whatever you're running, I believe there's a verified problem with MySQL and RedHat Linux - mismatch of glibc version, I think. - 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?

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 The change is made to avoid lots of discussions about when the GPL is effective. Basically we follow the same rules as we always have about when we want people to pay us for a commercial license but now we have a better legal ground to base it on. I hope it will save us (especially me since I have become the MySQL licensing guru :-) lots of discussion about who has to pay and who can use the GPL version. And of course this is totally in the line with what the Free Software Foundation and RMS wants since it spreads free software. We can still make exceptions and allow free use if there is a good reason for it (But not for I like to make money without freeing my code or paying you like reasons). So the goal is to get money out of the people who distribute non OpenSource application using MySQL. We need the income for the much larger development team we now have. And the cost of running a real company instead of the administrative mess that Monty and I had earlier (And that mess was very very bad for my ease of mind). Does this also apply to non-open-source but free applications? For example, we give away Escapade for free - always have, always will, at least for the minimal version of the product. If we develop a non-free version of Escapade that uses mysqlclient, what happens then? We also distribute statically-linked and dynamically-linked versions of the product, and I would be interested in knowing MySQL's position on this issue in regards to licensing. - -- Ed Carp, N7EKG http://www.pobox.com/~erc 214/986-5870 Licensed Texas Peace Officer Computer Crime Investigation Consultant Director, Software Development Escapade Server-Side Scripting Engine Development Team Pensacola - Dallas - London - Dresden http://www.squishedmosquito.com The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed-- and thus clamorous to be let to safety-- by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. - -- H.

RE: Starting/stopping server on WinXP Home standalone -- what's appropriate way?
I want to have manual startup/shutdown but still am not sure of the appropriate way to do this. Change the startup type from Automatic to Manual. The Computer Management utility allows me to stop the service and/or change the service startup type to manual or disabled. Is disabled the same as removing the service? No. Is there some other way to have the MySQL server running on a standalone Win system other than as a service? Which way is appropriate for standalone? Read Paul's previous post. Like Paul said: Alternatively, if the service is registered, you can change it to be a manual service rather than an automatic service.

Re: storing dabase on linux ramdisk
If you want it to be as fast as possible, you might want to consider doing the following: 1. Arrange your data so that the records are fixed length. 2. If possible, switch to something other than a relational database. A binary search on fixed-length, sorted records is probably going to be your fastest option. It's also got MUCH less overhead in regards to meta-data. This works great for read-only data. 3. Don't use PHP, ASP, Perl, Escapade, or any other interpreted language - write your code in C, it will be MUCH faster than any sort of interpreted language. Even with Escapade, which is far faster than any of the other three, is put to shame by compiled C. - Original Message - From: Matt Hargraves [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Joseph Monti [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 10:41 PM Subject: Re: storing dabase on linux ramdisk I don't know anyone who's done it but I can think of no reason why it wouldn't be possible. Now whether it is a good idea is another idea entirely. Without a live backup server (slave) running off hard disk and a very powerful battery backup system, you're just begging to lose all your data. No matter how much you think that your data isn't important, you find out how much it is necessary right after you lose it. Another issue: data growth. You would think that it wouldn't need over 1GB of space, but it isn't uncommon for databases to grow well beyond their initial concepts... just like John Roach's statement about 640k... nobody will ever need more than that, right? Now we're running over 5,000 times that in systems and starting to need more for some tasks. While you probably won't need it today, having a system that will support addressing 4GB of RAM is not necessarily a bad idea in a situation like what you're talking about. Either way, you should get a HUGE performance increase from switching to running off RAMdisk. Is it practical? It can be... but only if you've got a slave system with the data running off a nice, fast RAID 5 array with a big, fat read cache.

MySQL really wasn't designed for this sort of useage. Your selects are going to be brute force searches on unidexed data, which is exactly why they are so slow... I would advise you to look into using an XML or XML Enabled RDBMS. There are a lot of possible considerations here as to what you might want. I would advise you to consider abandoning storing XML in a database entirely, as it completely breaks the idea of database design - namely, don't store duplicate data. You would probably be much better served by writing code to wrap the actual data in the database with XML - it's quite easy, and a lot less hassle than trying to store XML. - 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?

RE: Speed issue
So it may seem that on your machine, with both MySQL and Access loaded together Access runs ever so much faster. However, you are comparing single use Access to single use MySQL. (also, once mysql starts caching things, it gets faster. The more you use it, the faster it runs!) Also, once you get MySQL into it's native environment (server class machine or at least one where nothing else is going on) it will run like a screaming banshee. I'll second that ;) We use MySQL extensively here, and we also use Access for the small stuff. Occasionally we will build an Access database, then link tables to MySQL via the MyODBC driver, then do database stuff as usual with VB6. Same with proof-of-concept or demo stuff that we want to upscale quickly. By the way, if you're going to use VB, I'd strongly suggest setting the dbSQLPassThru option on your queries and such, it will speed things up tremendously. If you don't, VB will bring down the entire table or tables to your desktop, then work on the data locally, a HUGE waste of time and bandwidth. You also don't have to use ADO if you don't want to - I use DAO and with passthru turned on, it works just fine ;) -- Ed Carp, N7EKG http://www.pobox.com/~erc 214/986-5870 Director, Software Development Escapade Server-Side Scripting Engine Development Team Pensacola - Dallas - London - Dresden - Paris http://www.squishedmosquito.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?

Short answer: it's stupid, unless all you ever want to see from your database is XML-wrapped data and never want to see it any other way.

RE: MySQL Clients Hang
I have not completely figured out what the problem is and I never got a response from any one else on the list. I can tell you it looks like a mutex problem between two threads. We have followed it down into pthreads where it seems to be stuck. The external symptom we see is that the MySQL server does not open any of the databases. The really bad news is that it is not a MySQL problem so reinstalling MySQL does nothing to fix it. The worse news is that the MySQL server does not give you a clue what the problem is. We had a Linux guru look at the version of mysql on this system that we compiled with debug. I got information about the debugging session third hand and really don't have any details other than the problem appeared to be in pthreads. I am not so sure pthreads is at fault other than a dead-lock condition exists and it is not detecting it and blowing one of the stuck processes away. What version of Linux are you running? After a lot of reearch and gdb'ing, I found a bug report in bugzilla on redhat.com that seems to illustrate the bug that we're having: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13785 In short, it seems it's a contention problem in pthread_lock. the fix is to upgrade to libc 2.1.92 (or better). RedHat 6.2 is running libpthreads 0.8, and I think this problem is fixed in 0.9. Unfortuantely, 0.9 needs libc 2.2, so you're probably better off upgrading to RedHat 7.2. I know, this bug report applies to SMP kernels, but ieven if you're not running an SMP kernel, it's probably a good idea to upgrade anyway.

If it appears that it's hanging in the thread libraries, I will reinstall the thread libraries. If that doesn't resolve the issue, I'm going to be forced to reinstall the OS. It seems that MySQL --debug mode should provide a little more information, but I suppose that's wishful thinking :) It's a very irritating problem, because we've got all our corporate database stuff on MySQL on this particular server... sigh -- Ed Carp, N7EKG http://www.pobox.com/~erc 214/341-4420 Director, Software Development Escapade Server-Side Scripting Engine Development Team Pensacola - Dallas - London - Dresden - Paris http://www.squishedmosquito.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?

RE: MySQL Clients Hang
What seems to be happening is that the open of the db hangs. So, when you attempt to connect with a client, mysql tries to look at the grant tables and hangs waiting for access. This is just a guess though. When you connect with a client, mysql_real_connect opens a socket to the server, does the handshaking, then authenticates and passes the query info. When I connect, I don't get anything, and gdb says the client is hung in one of the net_read routines, which makes sense - the client is waiting for something from the server. Is this a MySQL issue or not? I'm not sure - I just downloaded MySQL-3.23.47-1.i386.rpm and installed it (this is supposedly the static version of the server, no?) and it gave me exactly the same result, which if it was a Linux issue, it shouldn't react the same, since it was linked statically, so I'm leaning towards it being a MySQL issue of MySQL not handling an error condition properly. - 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?

RE: Let's approach stored procedures
- it's cool Not a valid business reason. - where I work, we have a HUGE database-driven web-application. A lot of our business logic is implemented via stored procedures, that act as black boxes for the web-designers. Think of enterprise java beans. They are not nonsense or such. They are usefull. Stored procedures aren't nonsense, but using or re-implementing a particular vendor's implementation is. (I know, you can use ejb with JDBS and mysql..., but if you want to have some logic incapsualted, you should use some kind of component) - sp extends the RDBMS itself in its functionality. Think about some stupid check_fiscal_code() or insert_new_customer(). Web designers use the insert_new_customer, instead of using SQL directly. These are all great reasons to implement stored procedures, not Oracle PL/SQL.

RE: ANN: EMS MySQL Manager
Does your message mean we'll see no more Escapade announcements on this list? That would be unfortunate, but by the same token, should the EMS client become available in a Linux version, an announcement on this list might be of interest to several of the readers. No, simply because we don't sell Escapade - it's a freebie. You can go out and download it right now, in fact - no credit card needed, etc. Free download, free upgrades, free help. The engine is not where we make any money at all. Just because it's not OpenSource doesn't mean it's for sale. It's not a teaser product that you have to buy something else to make it work, it's not crippleware, it's not even expireware anymore. Free, free, FREE. Call me altruistic - maybe it's just my way of saying thank you to all the folks out there (including you, Paul) that have done so much to make MySQL the great, free database that it is. When we first started working on the engine, I jumped up and down to make it free and keep it free, and that's the way it will stay. It was a useful tool for me, and it's turned out to be a useful tool for a lot of other people, too. On the other hand, I didn't see any free downloads for the EMS product. It seems like it's completely for profit, and I resent the list used for trying to sell software. We even have a free version of a script that does what PHPMyAdmin does - completely written in Escapade. It's *one* Escapade script, not a bunch of PHP scripts and shell scripts like PHPMyAdmin is. It works, it does everything I do in my day-to-day MySQL maintenance, and you know what, Paul? It's also free. The only reason we haven't put out an announcement is because we're busy putting the graphics together so it looks nice :) I have no problem people posting announcements of free stuff to the list. But I draw the line at stuff that people want me to pay money for - I get enough of that in email. But that's just my opinion - others no doubt have different opinions. - 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?

Programs linked static give error when run: /tmp/mysql.sock missing
Here is what we have found while working on the 0.2.1 version of Escapade: Because Escapade is not open source, and is in the following sense similar to prepackaged Perl and PHP systems, Escapade is distributed as a static binary (because of library incompatibility issues among various Linux systems) on Linux which was linked with the current MySQL client library *at compile time*. This produces a rather interesting scenario when run on a system which specifies different compile-time options than as distributed. The problem arises when MySQL is configured and built with mysql.sock configured to be in a non-standard place (we usually find it in /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock) on another machine, and the Escapade binary is run. The DBOPEN statement will fail with the complaint that /tmp/mysql.sock doesn't exist. Checking /tmp verified that, indeed, there is no mysql.sock file in that directory. What's going on? It turns out that, because MySQL needs to know where to put mysql.sock at runtime, and because all the MySQL client programs need to know where this is when they run, too, the socket file value as configured at compile time is compiled into the runtime client library. When mysql_connect() or mysql_real_connect() is called, it knows where to go to connect to mysql.sock, because it was specified at compile time. So what? Since the runtime library knows where mysql.sock is, all the client programs should run just fine, right? Well, sure - if your client isn't linked statically! If it is, whatever value that was compiled into the runtime library will be linked into the static binary - which may be wrong on the target system where the static binary is installed. The problem can be solved and therefore becomes a non-issue when /etc/my.cnf (or ~/my.cnf, etc.) exists and contains the socket file specification, because adding a call to mysql_options() will pick up the information in my.cnf. The only problem with this is that /etc/my.cnf isn't mandatory, nor is it apparently installed when MySQL itself is installed. If /etc/my.cnf (or path variations) don't exist, there is no way for the static client to figure out where the socket file is, and therefore the mysql_connect or mysql_real_connect call fails, while a dynamically linked program will succeed. The obvious solution is to force, in the client library, for my.cnf to exist, correctly configured, in a published place. Any other ideas on how to solve this problem? I've already mentioned why relinking as a dynamic binary isn't feasible. Thanks in advance :) -- Ed Carp, N7EKG - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 214/341-4420 - http://www.pobox.com/~erc Squished Mosquito, Inc.

This won't fix existing systems and installations, obviously. Our workaround is to
hard code places to look for mysql.sock:
char *where_socket[] = {
/tmp/mysql.sock,
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock,
/usr/local/lib/mysql/mysql.sock,
NULL
};
[...]
mysql_init (mysql);
mysql_options (mysql, MYSQL_READ_DEFAULT_GROUP, mysqld);
if (!mysql_real_connect (mysql, host, name, pass, db, 0, NULL, 0))
{
ptr = where_socket;
while (*ptr != (char *) NULL)
{
if (mysql_real_connect (mysql, host, name, pass, db, 0, *ptr, 0))
break;
if (mysql_errno (mysql) != CR_CONNECTION_ERROR)
printf (!-- ERROR %d connecting to database: %s --\n,
mysql_errno (mysql), mysql_error (mysql));
ptr++;
}
if (*ptr == (char *) NULL)
{
fprintf (stderr, ERROR %d connecting to database: %s\n,
mysql_errno (mysql), mysql_error (mysql));
return (EOF);
}
}
This is a hack because there are only so many places to look for mysql.sock and one
can't hard-code them all, so this is only a short-term solution, and certainly one I
wouldn't want to release in the engine!

Have the folks at MySQL gone out of their minds? Have they abdicated the management of the company to lawyers? I found the previous policy regarding the use of buttons, logos, etc., to be very liberal, and beneficial to both the MySQL folks and to site developers - it gave developers an opportunity to advertise a little for a great database and to show a cool-looking logo on their site at the same time and it gave MySQL a bit of free advertising. I find this existing policy as written to be restrictive in the extreme - I can't show our pride at having developed several significant products that rely on the MySQL database engine without someone's specific *written* permission? I can't diddle with the logo, like so many other people have done with the old logo to make it cooler and stand out more? That's pretty nuts, if you ask me... I read this new logo policy as a slap in the face to all the developers and admins who have worked hard at spreading the MySQL religion to the far corners of the web, at showing our pride at having a database engine that one could install almost anywhere, that supported SQL, that flat-out *screamed* performance-wise, and that was supported by a team of very cool folks at MySQL. It reads as a knee-jerk reaction to the MySQL/NuSphere brouhaha - one bad experience has screwed it up for the rest of us? Tell me it ain't so, folks...tell me the greatest database on the face of the planet hasn't sold out to the bean counters and lawsuit-filers...please! -- Ed Carp, N7EKG - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 214/341-4420 - http://www.pobox.com/~erc Squished Mosquito, Inc.

RE: Use of the MySQL logo - licensing agreement
This is just a WAG ... but do you suppose this is a result of the flap with NuSphere? I agree - but man, have they ever screwed it up for the rest of us! For this great database engine to be led around by the nose by lawyers is sad. I mean, I understand protecting the corporate jewels, but jeez... - 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?

RE: Use of the MySQL logo - licensing agreement
My point, and I believe Ed's point, is that I'm not clear on use of the MySQL logo in my software, printed material, etc. What concerns me is that the new logo licensing stuff is so restrictive, *anyone* who even displays the logo on a web site (powered by MySQL) has to get WRITTEN PERMISSION to do so from MySQL AB. I'm uncomfortable with that, particularly since it's free advertising for MySQL, and the way I look at it, anyone who displays the logo on their web site (except for blatantly trying to rip off MySQL in some way) is doing MySQL a favor, and it seems particularly ungrateful to the developer community to force them to jump through all kinds of hoops to do MySQL a favor. Does that make any sense? I'm not trying to slam MySQL, I'm just concerned about displaying the logo on a web site that says powered by MySQL or modifying the logo like folks used to do to produce all kinds of cool enhancements to the name MySQL. - 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?

FULLTEXT exact match queries?
How do I do exact phrase matches using FULLTEXT?
I have this 2 million row table, full of text data, that I want to search
for an exact phrase. When I say:
select * from Laws WHERE MATCH(Line) AGAINST ('MDMA') ORDER BY ID;
It works correctly, returning 1 row, MUCH faster than doing a select ...
LIKE!
But when I do:
select * from Laws WHERE MATCH(Line) AGAINST ('growth hormone') ORDER BY ID;
MySQL returns every row with either growth OR hormone in it, which isn't
what I wanted. Is there a way to only return the rows where the exact
phrase growth hormone is present?

It works - thanks! Hmmm...why didn't I think of that? ;)

This defeats the purpose of the fulltext index, don't you think?
Not really - since the WHERE clause is executed left to right, the LIKE clause is run
against the output of the MATCH clause, a much smaller subset.
I tried it - on a 250MB database containing almost 1.7 million records, the query time
went from 100+ seconds to just under 1 second - a significant increase in speed!
