InnoDB MySql
Apr 26, 2005 Databases SQL, MySQL, Web Development
Got an email today from Bam4D & he mentioned InnoDB. I did a little google on it, wait, that sounds horrible. So i googled it and found that it is a MySQL table type that can have many advantages over the other types of MySQL tables.
When designing tables in the past, I have never changed the table type. I have known about and always used the default MyISAM, just figured it do what I needed, and it did. But if I’m able to use something faster and something that has useful features, I’m on board.
That is one of the down sides of using a GUI for developing vs. command line. You get to take shortcuts instead of fully learning what you are working with. I checked and do have InnoDB available & ready to go! So I plan to try it out and use some of the features, like the backup. I like the fact that it is faster. This will also allow me to learn more about transactions for more advanced web apps.
Thanks for the info Bam!
