In my experience InnoDB tables are superior to BDB, but during my comparisons I was working with a lot more data -- millions of rows -- than you will be; BDB's problems seemed to center around the size of the tables. So, BDB could work well for you.
But, I can recommend InnoDB as a good way to go for your setup. Should work fine. --Walt Weaver Bozeman, Montana -----Original Message----- From: Aaron D. Turner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 18, 2002 12:11 PM To: MySQL List Subject: BerkeleyDB or InnoDB? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've read the docs on mysql.com about the BDB and InnoDB table formats, as well as their pro's & con's and I was wondering if anyone could give their opinion on the matter. I don't need row-level locking or other fancy features other than transaction support. My tables are about 1-5 thousand rows for the forseeable future. It's also not a heavly loaded DB (about 1-5 users at a time). I'm mostly concerned about stability and reliability. I do nightly backups, but even loosing a few hours worth of work would be 'bad'. With this in mind, suggestions anyone? Thanks. - -- Aaron D.
