FULLTEXT indexed?

Discussion in 'PHP' started by jacka, Jan 30, 2008.

    Hi

    I have a table that need to be fulltext indexted.

    I have issued the appropriate command from the control panel, using:
    
    ALTER TABLE RawrTable ADD FULLTEXT(RawrField);  
    HTML:
    But when I look at the table structure, it does not give me any clues if it is indexed or not.

    is there any way to check the table for FULLTEXT by issuing a command (prefebly from control panel).

    thanks for your time.
    :confused:

    Hi

    thanks for your reply.

    I am abit new to php and mysql, I have done what you asked , but can not see any mention of FULLTEXT any where.

    What should I be looking for?
    
    
    
    ipbushes	0	PRIMARY	1	part_number	A	218	NULL	NULL		BTREE	
    ipbushes	1	Desc	1	Descr	NULL	1	NULL	NULL	YES	FULLTEXT	
    ipbushes	1	Description	1	Descr	NULL	1	NULL	NULL	YES	FULLTEXT	
    ipbushes	1	Description_2	1	Descr	NULL	1	NULL	NULL	YES	FULLTEXT	
    ipbushes	1	Description_3	1	Descr	NULL	1	NULL	NULL	YES	FULLTEXT	
    ipbushes	1	Description_4	1	Descr	NULL	1	NULL	NULL	YES	FULLTEXT	
    HTML:

    Can't you see "FULLTEXT" there? :)

    You can test it with something like this:

    EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM `ipbushes` WHERE MATCH(`Desc`, `Description`, `Description_2`, `Description_3`, `Description_4`) AGAINST ('something' IN BOOLEAN MODE) LIMIT 1
    Code (markup):
    If you see "FULLTEXT" under "type", you'll know it works.
