Worth swithing from MyISAM to INNODB?

Featured Replies

Posted

So I keep seeing on here from a few posts how Invision Power recommends running INNODB over MyISAM. So I am thinking about switching over to it. How complex is it to switch? I don't think putting in a ticket to IPS that they would do this for you correct? I have read a few thread on commands on how to do it here, but a nice clean walk though would be great. Especially when running into some that they cannot convert for being to large. Do I have to change anything in my conf_global.php file as well? Thanks.

I switched everything over to INNODB.  There are a few threads about it if you search on the forum.  It's not that difficult to make the switch.

Did you notice any performance changes?

Well I was just worried about running into large tables. I asked my host but it looks like I can't edit my.cnf file so I won't be able to add the Barracuda thing to it. So I guess I am out of luck.
