This compared to InnoDB that is optimal when it comes to handling and storing integers, using transaction-critical applications, etc. Oh, and a protip to all developers: when logging things, make it log things efficient; don't make the table bigger than it needs to be. Start by using INET_ATON to store IP-adresses as 32-bit integers instead of 16 digit char. Always mind the scale of volumes for those poor DBA's sake ;-) Also, check out the facebook-patch for InnoDB - they've really made some cool optimizations worth checking out. cheers /Joey My experience with MyISAM and InnoDB, is that MyISAM is optimal for big nasty logs and/or if you need to do a relevancy-relied full text search (as another author stated, with the help of MATCH and AGAINST).

Any how people going to use Innodb only. why does myISAM still exist?
