what's going on?

I ask mysql to describe the index and it tells me it's there. Do a match, and match tells me it's not?

I'm guessing this is a simple syntax mistake, but I'm new with mysql and it seems like what I'm going should just work.

:P

Thanks for the help and your infinite wisdom!!

That is indeed quite strange... should be just fine; post your SHOW CREATE TABLE output here, and I'll try it on my end.
