Stephan> What's wrong? Why do I get InnoDB datafiles (ib_arch_log_0000000000, Stephan> ib_logfile0, ib_logfile1, ibdata1) with only MyISAM Tables? In MySQL 4.0 InnoDB is included as standard. As MySQL can't by default know if you are going to use Innodb tables or not it creates on startup the necessary files so that you can use Innodb tables. These files will not be used if you aren't using InnoDB tables. If you are only using MyISAM tables and don't wont to have the above files (and save a bit of memory), you can start mysqld with the --skip-innodb option or put this into your my.cnf file.
