[Beds] Not strictly a linux Q - but...

[Lee Larcombe]

Hi all

Is there any one out there who can help with a MySQL question???

The question is this: I have a DB record with a text field, but I only want
to apply a search query to the first paragraph of that field (or say, the
first 100 words). Is there any way to do this?

I am using MySQL 3.23, so I have fulltext searching, but not boolean mode.

Searching the web and looking at some books has so far resulted in nothing -
maybe I am not asking the right questions.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Lee
