#1214 - The used table type doesn't support FULLTEXT indexes
I'm getting an error saying that the table type doesn't support FULLTEXT indices. How can I achieve this?
Here's my table:
CREATE TABLE gamemech_chat (
id bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
from_userid varchar(50) NOT NULL default '0',
to_userid varchar(50) NOT NULL default '0',
text text NOT NULL,
systemtext text NOT NULL,
timestamp datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
chatroom bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (id),
KEY from_userid (from_userid),
FULLTEXT KEY from_userid_2 (from_userid),
KEY chatroom (chatroom),
KEY timestamp (timestamp)
) ;
*
Before MySQL 5.6 Full-Text Search is supported only with MyISAM Engine.
Therefore either change the engine for your table to MyISAM
CREATE TABLE gamemech_chat (
id bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
from_userid varchar(50) NOT NULL default '0',
to_userid varchar(50) NOT NULL default '0',
text text NOT NULL,
systemtext text NOT NULL,
timestamp datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
chatroom bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (id),
KEY from_userid (from_userid),
FULLTEXT KEY from_userid_2 (from_userid),
KEY chatroom (chatroom),
KEY timestamp (timestamp)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;
Here is SQLFiddle demo
or upgrade to 5.6 and use InnoDB Full-Text Search.
The problem occurred because of wrong table type.MyISAM is the only type of table that Mysql supports for Full-text indexes.
To correct this error run following sql.
CREATE TABLE gamemech_chat (
id bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
from_userid varchar(50) NOT NULL default '0',
to_userid varchar(50) NOT NULL default '0',
text text NOT NULL,
systemtext text NOT NULL,
timestamp datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
chatroom bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (id),
KEY from_userid (from_userid),
FULLTEXT KEY from_userid_2 (from_userid),
KEY chatroom (chatroom),
KEY timestamp (timestamp)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;
