show variables like 'table_type'; (MySQL 4) show variables like 'storage_engine'; (MySQL 5) Both of these work. However, in future releases of MySQL table_type will goes away because it was kept from backward compatiblity with MySQL 4 - Original Message - From: Mike Kruckenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: John Kopanas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: mysql@lists.mysql.com Sent: Friday, November 17, 2006 12:32:19 PM GMT-0500 US/Eastern Subject: Re: How Do I Know If mySQL is using MyISAM or InnoDB? For any specific table if you do: show create table ; It will tell you what the able was created using. To create tables using a specific engine add ENGINE= to the end of your create statement.
