Dear all, Is "repair by sort" working for building spatial indexes on spatial columns?
I have a table with a spatial column for storing geospatial data. My table is rather big (18M records, 7GB disk space) When I want to add a spatial index "CREATE SPATIAL INDEX geomindex ON arcs(geometry)", I end up to a "repair from keycache" process state for a quite long time (I killed it after several hours). I tried to increase the myisam_max_sort_file_size to 30GB (I have the disk space) but it didn't help. If I try on a smaller table (90K records, 100MB), with the same parameter set to 30GB, I still have the "repair by keycache" issue. So this is not likely a temp file size limitation. If I add an index on another column of my 18M records table, "repair using sort" works. I am using mysql 5.0.32 Thanks! Etienne
