Hey Baron,
Your blog post was quite informative; your suggestion to use a
combination of merged MyISAM tables and InnoDB for the live partition
made a lot of sense, and it sounds like the path I'll need to follow.
I appreciate the information!

1) Several sources seem to suggest MyISAM is a good choice for data
warehousing, but due to my lack of experience in a transaction-less world,
One approach you might consider is using MyISAM tables and MERGE
tables together. This makes it much easier to remove old data, if
that is a concern, and keeps each table a manageable size. For
example, put each day's data in a new MyISAM table and then create a
MERGE over them.
You might also look into MySQL 5.1's partitioning, too.
Brian Miezejevski gave a great session on this at last year's MySQL
Conference. The slides don't seem to be available online, but I wrote
up my notes on the session:

You can probably email him and get the slides as well.
