BDB tables seemed solid but slow when we evaluated them. InnoDB tables weren't quite as mature at that time, (3.23.28 or so, if I remember correctly), but they've improved enough since then that I don't see much of a benefit to BDB over InnoDB now, unless you want to keep each table in a seperate file. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
