Mostly writes, mostly reads, Manuel how many writes/reads do you expect etc. Manuel The best approach, from my point of view, would be, firstly, tune your Manuel MySQL server (if you've not done it yet) before getting into engine/tables Manuel optimizations which can be more complicated. InnoDB is a great engine, but not suitable for everything. Depending on your usage, moving some tables to another engine may help. Here is some suggestions (in no particular order): - If you want to have small footprint but don't need commit, foreign keys or explicite rollback then ARIA is an option. http://kb.askmonty.org/en/aria-formerly-known-as-maria/ - Duplicating some data in the MEMORY engine may also be beneficially. - If your problem is a lot of write, then you should take a look at Tokutek. It's an engine that is optimized for a lot of inserts. http://www.tokutek.com/products/tokudb-for-mysql/ - If you want to utilize a lot of computers to analyze BIG data then ScaleDB (http://www.scaledb.com) or InfiniDB (http://infinidb.org/) may be an option. Good luck and please post/blog about your experiences!

RE: InnoDB vs. other storage engines
No flames from me; I stay out of that religious war. However, the general consensus is to move to InnoDB. So, here are the gotchas. Most are non-issues; a few might bite you, but can probably be dealt with: http://mysql.rjweb.org/doc.php/myisam2innodb -Original Message- From: Manuel Arostegui [mailto:man...@tuenti.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2012 12:51 PM To: Mark Haney Cc: mysql mailing list Subject: Re: InnoDB vs. other storage engines 2012/9/19 Mark Haney ma...@abemblem.com I hope this doesn't end in some kind of flame war.
