You don't have to have an index in order for an update to work, although indexes do
help performance a great deal when you are dealing with a lot of records. Do you have
"Update" permissions on the particular table/database you are working with?

Subject: [PHP] MySQL and indexes
Hi all,
Just wondering, does a table have to have an index? If so what should I
consider when making a colum an index?
Here is the table I am using but I can't get php to update it.
Is it because there is no index?
CREATE TABLE wt_pet (
petid varchar(100) default NULL,
pet_user int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
petname varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',
pet_sex enum('Male','Female') NOT NULL default 'Male',
pet_equip varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',
pet_state varchar(20) NOT NULL default '',
pet_hunger varchar(20) NOT NULL default '',
pet_date date NOT NULL default '0000-00-00',
num_pets int(1) NOT NULL default '0',
) TYPE=MyISAM;
Thanks
Jennifer Downey
