Ok, how to do this efficiently escapes me, so I'm going to ask and see
if anyone might have ideas.
My problem is really simple. I have a database filed with user
comments. It's basic fields are an id (primary key), a user id (of the
user who submitted the comment), and the comment itself.
I have a separate user database that contains an id, the user name,
and the user's trustworthiness .
Now I want to do a fulltext search of the comment database using its
comment field.
Here is where I'm having trouble: I want to give the comments
submitted by more trusted users a higher weight in the search so that
they are more likely to come out on top.
I've been reading and have yet to find a good way to do this. Any
ideas?
Help is much appreciated.

Add field: trust_value to your table (either to comment or user table,
depending on what you want), and add "order by trust_value" to your query.

But if I have a query like:
SELECT users.name,user s.location,comm ents.comment FROM users JOIN
comments
ON (users.id = comments.userid ) WHERE MATCH (comment) AGAINST
('sorta');
and then I add an "ORDER BY trust_value" thing to it, won't it first
order by relevancy and then within that order by trust?

I am wondering if the following can be done.
I want to setup a search page that utilizes full text
searching in sql2000. I want the user to type in
say "where is bill" and have the query search across
multiple columns in multiple tables and return a single
list of results so that i can show unique records that
are returned.
The problem is that my data for 1 record is split across

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
