Hi,

I am in the process of setting up a web site for a client, which has
ecommerce and a few other modules.

Now my hosting company has just given me the option of using INNODB for
the MySQL backend. I know that this speeds you up in some areas, and
adds better data integrity.

Should I use it, or should I stick with the MyISAM databases, esp. since
this is a E-Commerce site.

Thanks,
Gordon.
