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.

Cheers,
Daniel.
