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
* Is the procedure to store file paths, or the actual text itself?
In order to use MySQL full-text indexing funcionality, you will need to store
the actual text, and you need to have a FULLTEXT index on the column. Note that
full-text indexing is supported only with MyISAM tables.
