seems I may need to upgrade to .51, but as the server I am running on is hosted and I may not be able to get them to install the latest mysql version, I have come up with the following hack...
to recap my problem: I am getting a corruption when I update a table that uses two fulltext and one PK index, where one of the fulltext indexed fields gets a value that is a duplicate of an existing record's value in the same field. pseudocode: (the field "title" has a fulltext index) insert record id="a", title="test 123" insert record id="b",title="test 1234" update record set title="test 1234" where id="a" and there's where the corruption happens- (but it's not seen by "check table" until both records are deleted). so- here's my hack. after the update, i run the following sql query in php: $result = mysql_query("repair table Works"); this seems to fix the problem, albeit with chewing gum. any really bad problems with doing this? -nick --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
