I'm not clear on best practice to use on a database containing both
MyISAM and InnoDB tables. For the MyISAM tables, it seems better to use
mysqldump --opt, thus getting the --lock-tables option, but for the
InnoDB the --single-transaction is preferred. Since they are mutually
exclusive, is there a best practice to get consistent state of the
tables when the database dump is performed?
Would `mysqldump --opt --skip-lock-tables --single-transaction` be best
for a database that is mostly InnoDB tables, but does have a few MyISAM
tables?
WOuld I be better off locking the database from any updates/inserts, and
specifying particular commands for individual tables?
Any advice appreciated, including RTFMs with links.
