If you want to avoid locks and if you want to update multiple tables in a single logical transaction: YES. > * if yes: how can i change them for the "real-system" (the homepage), > that uses packed myisam-tables (because there is no writing, only > reading from db!). Change what? Your current tables to InnoDB? > * what are the best ways to get the data from "entering-system" to > "real-system"? do i have to shut-down the mysql-server each time the > data is "updated"? That depends - - Can you update directly in the "real" system? Perhaps by replication? > * what else must i think of?
