Custom Import Problems
Hello everyone,

I've converted Import.pl and setup.cgi to import the data from my JokeSearch which has an extra field called Joke. I added it to SQL.mysql and etc. and here is the message that setup.cgi gives me when I try to create tables:

Creating table Links ... failed (DBSQL (8288): Fatal Error: Unable to execute query:
CREATE TABLE Links (
ID INT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
Title CHAR(100) NOT NULL,
URL CHAR(150),
Add_Date DATE NOT NULL,
Mod_Date DATE NOT NULL,
CategoryID INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
Joke TEXT NOT NULL,
Description TEXT,
Contact_Name CHAR(50),

)
. Reason: BLOB column 'Joke' can't be used in key specification at setup.cgi line 289
) Loading def file from SQL ... failed (DBSQL (8288): Fatal Error: Unable to execute query: DESCRIBE Links. Reason: Table 'jokesearch.Links' doesn't exist at setup.cgi line 291
)
Creating Search Index ... ok!
Saving def file ... ok!


I don't understand at all what that error means. Help? Thanks!
