Getting started

The quick way to see Manticore in action is to use the sample RT index preconfigured in sphinx.conf. Inserting data in a RT index is done using SphinxQL and in the same way as for a MySQL table

  $ mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -P 9306
  mysql> INSERT INTO rt VALUES ( 1, 'first record', 'test one', 123 );
  Query OK, 1 row affected (0.05 sec)
  mysql> INSERT INTO rt VALUES ( 2, 'second record', 'test two', 234 );
  Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

To search we use a SELECT statement with a MATCH clause:

 mysql> SELECT * FROM rt WHERE MATCH('test');
 +------+--------+------+
 | id   | weight | gid  |
 +------+--------+------+
 |    1 |   1643 |  123 |
 |    2 |   1643 |  234 |
 +------+--------+------+
 2 rows in set (0.01 sec)
