fenway Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 InnoDB allows for transaction-safe tables, so that you can group sql statements to be run "at the same time", and not otherwise. It also allows you to enforce relations between records in different tables. But all of this comes at a very expensive cost in terms of resources, code management, db design, etc. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/40825-solved-question-with-innodb-and-myisam/#findComment-198070 Share on other sites More sharing options...
