You need MySQL 5.1 or newer: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/pluggable-storage.html and even then, I don't believe any of the bundled engines are available as plugins. It's mainly for 3rd-party engines. -- Dan Nelson dnel...@allantgroup.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
