Have you checked the manual to be sure that the 65000 varchar is
available to the version of MySQL you are using? Prior to 5.0.3, it was
255 only.

Look up the LIMIT clause of SELECT statement, also ASCENDING/DESCENDING

Not really a MySQL problem, this is a presentation problem. MySQL will
store the number as digits only (unless you are storing in a character
field - but why would you?). If using PHP, for instance, the output of
the field would be
number_format($fieldvalue)

What other tables are counted in the opened_tables calculation; does this
include tables that may be opened twice under different aliases? Does this
include temporary tables (created by MySQL)?

Stuart, why not change your select statement (assuming it is correct and

If the field is the only (or first) timestamp-type field in the table
columns, then the record will automatically have the current date/time

Could this be something as simple as the fact that you have a field with a
space in its name ('Contact Email'), which is sometimes called as 'Contact
Email' and sometimes as 'Contact_Email'?
I'm not even sure if a blank space is actually allowed in

It's just a bit disconcerting to see '1' when '0' is expected. As for

SELECT COUNT(*) retrieves the correct number, however.

Pieter,
I think FTS minimum WORD size is 4 characters - you may to be searching
with 3 on 'May May'.
Not having ever used FTS; I believe you can adjust it to count 3-character
words by changing the configuration, but I'm not sure where - and it would
then need re-indexing, if I'm not mistaken.
Just a suggestion, Kevin, but how about changing from INT to BIGINT?

What I actually needed was:

SET CounterValue = CounterValue+1,
CounterStartDateTime =
IF(CounterStartDateTime IS NULL, Now(), CounterStartDateTime)
This prevents it going back to NULL if the value is already not NULL.
