Thanks for the report. This is indeed the sort of thing we'd like to hear about; a bug report would be appropriate. I wonder if we can get rid of this implementation-specific "MyISAM" thing anyway, since it's troublesome? Is it necessary to specify something like that? It's not as if Freeciv needs a particularly optimised database. (I've done zero research into why it's there, it was like that when I found it.) (What version of Freeciv are you using? If it's 2.4.x, then you might want to consider using SQLite, which is perfectly adequate and less hassle all round.) _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
