Can you please help? Indexes have a maximum size. I don't think there's much overhead on a varchar index, so it would seem that your email column has at least one value that is about 9984 bytes long. That doesn't seem like a valid email address to me. Could also be an error with your function, although it looks simple enough. What is the output of SELECT MAX(octet_length(email)) FROM users; and SELECT MAX(octet_length(reverse(email))) FROM users; -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com http://people.collaborativefusion.com/~wmoran/
