Bigint attributes

Bigint attributes (sql_attr_bitint directive)
should be:
Bigint attributes (sql_attr_bigint directive)

Note from the Author or Editor:
Confirmed, there is a typo and it should read "sql_attr_bigint" instead of "sql_attr_bitint" indeed. Thank you!

2nd paragraph

Hi,

it's a very small one :
"It defines that a byte value of 64 (a.k.a 41 in hex, or 0x41 for brevity) its an uppercase A..."

Actually it's a byte value of 65, not 64.

Regards,
Arnaud

Note from the Author or Editor:
Thanks, it should read 65 indeed.

In book:

sql_query_post_index = DELETE FROM sphinxcounters \
WHERE tablename='documents_delta_tmp'

sql_query_post_index = UPDATE sphinxcounters \
SET tablename='documents_delta' \
WHERE tablename='documents_delta_tmp'

I think that two 'sql_query_post_index' need to be swapped or first line may be changed to.

Note from the Author or Editor:
The first sql_query_post_index = DELETE FROM ... line should indeed be changed to read:

sql_query_post_index = DELETE FROM sphinxcounters \
WHERE tablename='documents_delta'

Thanks for pointing this out!
