If you do choose to use non-InnoDB tables, I recommend using something else that is designed to work with transactions and survive server crashes (eg, DO NOT USE MyISAM) As noted in other replies, you can tweak $wgDBTableOptions to change the default table type used when creating new tables; you can change existing ones with an ALTER TABLE at any time. -- brion _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
