I see the data types
TEXT MEDIUMTEXT LONGTEXT listed in the MySQL documentation, and I have read Section 13.7 MySQL Full-Text Search. I infer from this that it is possible to store searchable text files in tables. My questions are these: * Is the procedure to store file paths, or the actual text itself? * How are such files uploaded to the database? (I don't see how you would do either with a LOAD DATA or an INSERT statement. ) Thanks, Lou
