I just installed xwiki for the first time on a linux server with mysql, and noticed that all the tables are MyISAM. If I didn't read this email thread, I wouldn't have thought to check that, as I would have assumed xwiki would've asked for innodb tables when it initialised the database. So questions are: * why doesn't xwiki automatically ask for innodb ? * how am I supposed to convert the existing database to innodb ? * how should new databases be created so that innodb tables are used ? thanks Paul _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
