Hello Stephane, I use myisam for reading.
I now use SQL for updating. When I used myisam for updating, tables sometimes corrupted, and I was unable to work out why. Currently I am changing programs to use HANDLER syntax not myisam for reading. This will: - Save the need for table locking. - Allow the use of InnoDB etc. - Allow mysqld to have full control. I recommend you just use SQL for everything.

Hello, I would like to know how to write directly to MyISAM files, without passing by SELECT or UPDATE queries. I believe this info can be found in the files myisam.h and myisammrg.h, but I am not shure if its safe and how to do it. I would very much like to have an example of this code (C code). thank you Stéphane. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
