Well, if MyISAM will not work, I will have to try Sphinx. Is it easy to configure on Windows 7?<br />
<br />
Ideally, though, I'd like to go with the MySQL built in functionality. Performance is not a huge consideration at this point...<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am using MySQL Server 5 and trying to build a FULLTEXT index for a TEXT column of a lengthy table using this command:<br />
<br />
ALTER TABLE `dbtest`.`textextracttable<wbr />` ADD FULLTEXT (`ExtractTextColumn`)<br />
<br />
The table has about 1M records. The size of ExtractTextColumn is also very large (designed to store 50 page text documents).<br />
<br />
The good news is the error appears exactly after 600.531 sec of execution, which makes me think there is some configuration parameter that times out after 10min. <br />
<br />
Thank you for your help.

FULLTEXT index generation crashes MySQL server

MySQL is an open source, relational database management system that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. Acquired by Oracle in 2009, it is frequently used in combination with PHP installations, powering most of the WordPress installations.
