I think you have to specify a key length when you use an index on a
text field...
mysql> alter table t2 add index i2(t1(3));
That would create an index (called "i2") on the first 3 characters of
field "t1" of table "t2".
I think that's right?

Hi,
since urls can be longer than 255 chars, I made the url field a
TEXT field.
The problem is, I can't make an index on it, so doing 'WHERE
url='xxx'' becomes a very sloow query.
Any ideas for solutions? Am I mistaken in the idea that I can't make
an index on a TEXT field?
Thanks!
Peter
