Hi,

a simple question ... I have MySQL installed on my Mandrake Linux system,
via the RPM's
MySQL-4.0.11a-5.1mdk
MySQL-common-4.0.11a-5.1mdk
MySQL-client-4.0.11a-5.1mdk

Can anyone tell me how
a) I check if InnoDB is available with this version ? (in the RPM release
notes it seems InnoDB was included in ver 3.23.50-1mdk, so I'm guessing
that its still included).

b) If it is available, what is the default table type from the RPM ? How do
I find out (is there a command line, or MySQL command to give me this info)
?

c) How do I get it to use it ?
[I've added a file /etc/my.cnf
with the line
default-table-type=InnoDB
Do I need to do anything else ?]


The background is that I want to have MySQL check foreign key constraints,
and hence prevent deletion from some table if another has a foreign key
constraint to that record. Currently it allows deletion with no error.


TIA
