I was working on my MySQL-to-PostgreSQL script, and when it tried to copy comments from the longdescs table in MySQL to the longdescs table in PostgreSQL, I got: DBD::Pg::st execute failed: ERROR: btree: index item size 2732 exceeds maximum 2713 The URL says that this is a problem with indexing, but I haven't looked into it too deeply... It's possible that we need to somehow limit our indexes on the thetext field.

Removing the index from the "thetext" field fixes this problem. I doubt that our really complex "LIKE" statement in Simple Search will use the index, anyway, so we can probably just eliminate it until we have fulltext indexing.

The solution that Tomas and I have decided on is to remove any index marked as "FULLTEXT" and just not create it in Pg.

OK, I think this is the simplest and cleanest solution for 2.20. It's a pretty small patch, this way.

Comment on attachment 183041 [details] [diff] [review] Remove the "thetext" index and only create it on MySQL Hey Jouni, could you review this? I haven't heard from Joel in a while.

Comment on attachment 183041 [details] [diff] [review] Remove the "thetext" index and only create it on MySQL Works on MySQL, cannot test with Postgres. r=jouni, partially by inspection.

OK, And I assert that I've tested this code on PostgreSQL, and it works.
