Hi, Can anyone help me with the problem below please? I'm using mysql-max-4.0.20-ibm-aix4.3.3.0-powerpc. Thanks, JS. Does anyone know what goes on (system wise) during the CREATE INDEX ? I can see it's copying the table file, what then though? I tried running the "create index" again using --

Why in the world would you want to do this? Think about it, you have similar data in two different columns that should be in one. If a value in (c) is the same as (b) which enables it to have a FK link to (a) then why not merge the columns and save yourself some headaches? This is a normal task. Th

Note that if you use ROWNO, then a following ORDER BY clause will sort only the records until the limit of ROWNO is reached. It says so in the manual at least, I haven't tried it... Makes the feature a bit useless IMO... You can set MaxDB to parse in Oracle mode and use ROWNUM to limit/offset..
