Hi,

Wondering if the indexing schema features for Links SQL & GT Forum are different when using mysql 4.0 than what's currently detailed in the product manuals, given version 4.0's enhanced search set.

Thank you.

Hi,

Yes, version 4 has some improved features which should get updated in the manual. MySQL 4 now supports phrase and substring searching. Also, you can now index words that are less then 4 characters (although it requires being able to set a mysql conf option -- may not be possible unless you are on a dedicated). Finally, with our latest MySQL driver, you can also set weights that will affect relevancy (in Gossamer Forum 1.2.0, but not yet in Links SQL).

Cheers,

Can I use the VER4 driver from Gforum 1.2.0 in LSQL 2.1.2? I mean, just copying it will get me the benefits from the aditional features like the relevancy option set with weights right?

Hi,

Yes, that's all you need to do (and since you are running under mod_perl, if you just load GForum::mod_perl first, that will do the trick as only one set of GT libs will be loaded).

Alex, specificaly what files are we talking about just VER4.pm and that's it?

Hi,

To be on the safe side, I would replace GT/SQL/Search/*.

Alex, are you folks going to add this or make this available to lsql users?

Alex,

I was refered back to you by Jack. Can you respond on this issue? Are the mysql 4 drivers going to be made available to the LSQL users?
