Hi,
I'm using BDB, and I had the same doubts you ask for.
For install BDB:
- You need the source version 3.23.34a +
- You need to compile using the BDB option
You can create a BDB table by using "TYPE = BDB" at the end of create table.
In order to check if the BDB is working you can:
- try to do a BEGIN; INSERT...; ROLLBACK;
(the insert have to be cancelled!)
or simply (like I did) see after the create table, in the database
directory, the file extension: if you see MYI, then MYISAM was used instead
BDB!
Note that I saw an hard worsening of performance of the BDB table: an insert
need a time x7 respect with MYISAM tables
ciao - Paolo
