making all tables MyISAM


Hello,

Is there a way to specify MyISAM for all tables in a given file rather
than having to specify it at the end of each table declaration. I think
this would make porting databases back and forth to MySQL somewhat easier
since including MyISAM as part of the table declaration is not compatible
with standard SQL syntax, so I would like to keep MySQL-specific stuff
separate from the rest of the SQL DDL file.

Thanks,

Neil

Hello, I recently converted all my existing MyISAM tables to InnoDB tables through phpmyadmin. I noticed some strange behavior whenever I would refresh the screen, as phpmyadmin would report different numbers for the cardinality of the primary key (i.e. one minute it would say cardinality 388, then 244 on refresh, then something else), and it would report different values for the number of rows when mousing over the table names on the...

I want to use constraints, so I will have to use innodb tables (according to the website mysql.com). But, what is the difference between myisam and innodb tables ?? And why is there a comment "innodb free: 4096 kb" since I have changed my tables from myisam to innodb? Is this working like Sybase, where you need to create devices for data storage, or do I miss the idea completely here? Please notice, I am a beginner, so please be patient.

I'm new to databases and am experimenting with mysql. I have a clients table and a sales table in a mysql database. Client_id is the primary key in clients and a secondary key in sales. The only client_id's that show up in the clients table are client_id's starting at 28 (they autoincrement from there). 1-27 were old ones that I used in testing. I added a new client and clients shows the new client_id as 188 which makes sense. I added...

Hi there I have a database with about 20 or so tables, maybe a few thousand rows in each. I am starting to do more complex things with my insertions etc, and I want to start to use transactions, so I imagine I should change some table types in the database from MyISAM to InnoDB. I know that InnoDB tables are a completely different beast than MyISAM in terms of data storage etc... ie: instead of using folders on the server, everything...

I am using mysql-4.0.24 on a Windows2000 machine for a small but complicated application. A few times I've experienced corruption of tables. Most of the times the error was -"can't open file: 'tableName.MYI'. (errno: 144)". I've read somewhere that using CHECKSUM = 1 can reduce the chances of corruption in MYISAM tables. Is it correct? Will it affect the insert/update timing and query performance?

Hello I use a table to cache some informations which need lots of resources to be composed. The first time the info is needed, it will be composed and written to the cache table ($db in the example is a PEAR DB object; the question is the same for other ways of accessing the database): // Retrieve info if present $details = $db->getOne("SELECT contents FROM cache WHERE id=".$id." AND info='details'");

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
