Tinytext index howto ?

2002-09-23 Thread David yahoo

Hi,

I have a column that can have 850 chars at max.
I think that I can only put this in a tinytext col type.

How can I hav an index to this col mysql refuse me to add one ?


Thanks.

Probably not.  The maximum size of TINYTEXT is 255 bytes.  You need
at least a TEXT type.  (MEDIUMTEXT and LONGTEXT will also work, but
are much longer than you need.)

Depends on the table type.  ISAM and InnoDB won't allow you to index
BLOB or TEXT columns.  MyISAM and BDB do, but you must index just a
prefix of the column, up to a maximum of 255 characters.
