MariaDB Cookbook
By :

If an index is not used, the only thing it is doing is wasting space and slowing down our INSERT
and UPDATE
statements. So if an index is not being used, we should remove it.
Import the ISFDB database as described in the Importing the data exported by mysqldump recipe from Chapter 2, Diving Deep into MariaDB.
Launch the mysql
command-line client application and connect to the isfdb
database on our MariaDB server.
Drop the full-text index on the note_note
column of the notes
table, which we created in the previous recipe using the following command:
DROP INDEX note ON notes;
After the command's execution is complete, verify that the full-text index is removed with the following command:
SHOW INDEX FROM notes;
The DROP INDEX
command actually creates and runs an ALTER TABLE
statement to remove an index. So when removing an index on a large table, we'll see the standard ALTER TABLE
progress messages.
The last thing we want...
Change the font size
Change margin width
Change background colour
