Andreas,
sorry, it is the default MySQL behavior to create a MyISAM table if
another handler is not present.
There was a long thread of emails between MySQL developers if MySQL
should give an error message if a table cannot be created to be of
type BDB or InnoDB because the handler is not present, but I think
there was no decision to change the behavior. I think it would be
better if the database would give an error. Transactional applications
cannot be used with MyISAM tables.
