Anyone have experience with MySQL? I have been using it for years now but I wonder if I might have outgrown it.
The way that I understand it is that my MyISAM tables are faster but INNODB allow for transaction support (which I have never fully understood). We have been using MyISAM for years and have been satisfied. However, I am told that in order to make a backup of the database you have to shut it down, back it up, then restart it. This is absurd. Therefore, we were considering moving to INNODB but everything I read says that these are VERY slow tables. Please let me know if you have any advise....should we move away from MySQL? Is there a solution to back up MyISAM? Is the performance of INNODB really not as bad as I have read. I am so confused and frustrated......I understand that MySQL is used by some pretty big hitters (http://www.mysql.com/customers/). What are these guys using? Any help, advise, comments, etc. will be tremendously appreciated. -------------------------------------------------------- Kevin Fricke Lone Star Media [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Office: (512) 371-1822 Mobile: (512) 626-0528 Fax: (512) 597-0909 Toll Free: (877) 791-7083 http://www.lonestarmedia.com
