If you're not using innodb, it makes perfect sense to disable it, assuming you don't have memory to burn. Those who are using it might want to go the opposite route, default_table_type = INNODB --mark On Nov 26, 2007 4:05 PM, John Handelaar <john@userfrenzy.com> wrote:

What I normally do (not for this benchmark, but for tuning) is:
Add skip-innodb, which saves some 100MB of RAM for the MySQL.
That's a borderline-reckless thing to say around here.
Not using InnoDB is one thing -- and good luck with that when you've got lots of users, lots of comments, and some forums -- but actually removing the option at the server strikes me as more than a little foolish.
Incidentally, there are lots of places where Drupal could use transactions when they're available. user_add and node_save would both be a lot more DB-crash-resistant, for starters.
