[development] InnoDB and accesslog/ watchdog

[Larry Garfield]

What exactly would be the benefit here?  My understanding is that InnoDB is 
already better for write-heavy tables (while MyISAM is read-optimized), so 
I'm not sure what the goal is.  And what would this get us that UNION would 
not?

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
