At this point is has nothing to do with transactions or indexes. I want rds in Homesite/CF Studio to properly identify the datatype and field length for my cfc wizard. My wizard looks for datatypes and field lengths for form generation and client/server-side validation. As it is now, if the dsn is MySQL all fields have a length of 65535. SQL Server does not have this problem, nor does PostgreSQL, or even Access. If every field is 65535 in length, then I have to manually fix all my validation rules and on my forms change textarea fields to input/text fields. What I have been doing as a work around is to create the database/dsn in both MySQL and SQL Server so I run the wizard against the SQL Server dsn to get correct form and validation generation.
I guess one obvious test to do to create a MySQL database using MyISAM and see what the field lengths are. I hope this all makes sense. > Stan Winchester wrote: > > > > What I've been wondering is what MySQL engine should I be using > "MyISAM" or the default "InnoDB"? > > What functionality do you want to use?
