    Regenerate searchable text in XML table · 6f7dfc82

    The FULL_TEXT column in XML table is supposed to be type VARCHAR(255)
    according to the schema, but in reality it is an arbitrary long
    field just like MEMO type, but mdbtools doesn't know how to process
    the data beyond the predefined limit. As a result the FULL_TEXT
    contents are truncated to a pitiful 255 characters which makes it
    practically useless for its original purpose: searching.
    
    So we add another helper script which performs the XSL transformations
    on all the XML entries, extracts the plain text from the resulting
    html and updates the table.
