Hello,

For a Drupal 5 site, which MySQL engine should I use? MyISAM or InnoDB? I know that in general the answer is "it depends", but I was hoping that for the specific case of Drupal there might be a simpler (more useful) answer.

Any thoughts? I am happy to read documentation on the topic if there is any to be found. Today I've just been reading about MyISAM vs InnoDB in general.

Thanks for the help.

Tell us more about your site. Number of nodes, users, traffic. What kind of hosting environment, etc?

InnoDB is safer, but consumes more resources.
