You could configure per table table spaces.. I suppose that would be a
little more trackable..

yes. Hosting companies restrict MyISAM database sizes by setting limits on individual database directory sizes. With the my.cnf option in MySQL-4.1:


innodb_file_per_table

they can now do the same for InnoDB type tables.

I just found out that the hosting company we're using has disabled
INNODB support in their MySQL configuration. I'm a bit upset that they
don't document crippling the server anywhere, but that's neither here
nor there.

When I asked them about this, I got the following reply:

"InnoDB doesn't provide a mechanism to track disk quota and isn't
suitable for a shared server environment - structures etc all reside in
a shared area."

How many of you agree or disagree with their reply? Do you know hosting
companies that *DO* provide INNODB support? If so, obviously they don't
consider innodb to be unusable in a shared environment. How much
validity is there to their excuse for not providing the support? Other
comments welcome as well.
