MySQL Error 1214: Unsupported FULLTEXT Index
Description
Error 1214 indicates that you are attempting to create or use a FULLTEXT index on a database table whose underlying storage engine does not support this feature. This typically occurs when working with specific table types or older MySQL versions where FULLTEXT indexing capabilities are limited or absent for the chosen engine.
Error Message
The used table type doesn't support FULLTEXT indexes
Known Causes
3 known causesIncompatible Storage Engine
The database table is configured to use a storage engine (e.g., MEMORY, CSV, or older MyISAM/InnoDB versions) that does not provide native support for FULLTEXT indexes.
Outdated MySQL or InnoDB Version
While InnoDB supports FULLTEXT indexes from MySQL 5.6 onwards, using an older MySQL server version or an outdated InnoDB configuration might prevent this functionality.
Incorrect Table Creation Parameters
The table was created without specifying a compatible storage engine or with parameters that implicitly select an unsupported engine for FULLTEXT indexing.
