Even if it is removed it would only be removed from future versions .. say 6.0. Even version 5.1 has been "feature-frozen", if I am not mistaken, meaning that features will not be added or removed. But, as others have said, Falcon is what I think MySQL has in mind to replace Innodb This transition, however, will take years just like the transition from MyIsam to Innodb. DBA's tend to be very set in our ways so transitions are slow! As long as Oracle doesn't do something stupid (which they might) Innodb will probably still be available as an option in the GA release 10 years from now so I wouldn't sweat it.

Hi all, recently someone said to know alot about mysql told us that InnoDB is about to be removed from the mySQL server. however, InnoDB seems to be the fastest storage engine in our case, as myisam take a hell longer to insert new rows e.g. so is it true, that innodb is to be removed? (coudn't find any trace in the net yet) and what about potential future storage engines in mysql, or will there be myisam as the one and only feature blown one? Thanks in advance, Christian Parpart. -- B. Keith Murphy Database Administrator iContact 2635 Meridian Parkway, 2nd Floor Durham, North Carolina 27713 (o) 919-433-0786 (c) 850-637-3877
