MYISAM_FTDUMP(1)      MySQL Database System      MYISAM_FTDUMP(1)



NAME
       myisam_ftdump - display full-text index information

SYNOPSIS
       myisam_ftdump [options] tbl_name index_num

DESCRIPTION
       myisam_ftdump displays information about FULLTEXT indexes
       in MyISAM tables. It reads the MyISAM index file directly,
       so it must be run on the server host where the table is
       located

       Invoke myisam_ftdump like this:

          shell> myisam_ftdump [options] tbl_name index_num

       The tbl_name argument should be the name of a MyISAM
       table. You can also specify a table by naming its index
       file (the file with the suffix). If you do not invoke
       myisam_ftdump in the directory where the table files are
       located, the table or index file name must be preceded by
       the pathname to the table's database directory. Index
       numbers begin with 0.

       Example: Suppose that the test database contains a table
       named mytexttablel that has the following definition:

          CREATE TABLE mytexttable
          (
            id   INT NOT NULL,
            txt  TEXT NOT NULL,
            PRIMARY KEY (id),
            FULLTEXT (txt)
          );

       The index on id is index 0 and the FULLTEXT index on txt
       is index 1. If your working directory is the test database
       directory, invoke myisam_ftdump as follows:

          shell> myisam_ftdump mytexttable 1

       If the pathname to the test database directory is
       /usr/local/mysql/data/test, you can also specify the table
       name argument using that pathname. This is useful if you
       do not invoke myisam_ftdump in the database directory:

          shell> myisam_ftdump /usr/local/mysql/data/test/mytexttable 1

       myisam_ftdump understands the following options:

       o  --help, -h -?

          Display a help message and exit.

       o  --count, -c

          Calculate per-word statistics (counts and global
          weights).

       o  --dump, -d

          Dump the index, including data offsets and word
          weights.

       o  --length, -l

          Report the length distribution.

       o  --stats, -s

          Report global index statistics. This is the default
          operation if no other operation is specified.

       o  --verbose, -v

          Verbose mode. Print more output about what the program
          does.
