[Bioperl-l] Bio::DB::GFF table creation problems/test failures

Hi Lincoln,

Last week you fixed a problem with the way Bio::DB::GFF created MySQL
tables, removing the "type=MYISAM" from the declaration.  The problem
now is that when I try to create a new Bio::DB::GFF database, I get
this error:

  The used table type doesn't support FULLTEXT indexes

when trying to create the fattribute_to_feature table.  It looks like
the default engine is InnoDB, which doesn't support full text
searching.  Of course, if I add "ENGINE MYISAM" to the end of the
query it works.  This is with mysql 5.5.9.  When the table creation
fails, obviously most of the tests fail when testing against MySQL.

Scott
