In theory it is fastest to add indexes first, then disable it (ALTER TABLE x DISABLE KEYS), then add data and, on the end, re-enable keys (ALTER TABLE x DISABLE KEYS). mirza

Hello all,
I need to load a new InnoDB table with about 80 million rows. With MyISAM I have often found that it is faster to create the table without indexes, add all the data, then add the indexes. Is this true with InnoDB as well, or should I put my indexes in before loading?
Similarly, I have another large table that is currently MyISAM that I'd like to move to InnoDB. What would be the fastest steps towards accomplishing this (as far as indexes, etc.)?
Thanks -keith
