For any specific table if you do:

show create table <tablename>;

It will tell you what the able was created using. To create tables using a specific engine add ENGINE=<name> to the end of your create statement.

To see the default that is used (I think this is what the table_type variable does):

mysql> show variables like 'table_type';
+---------------+--------+
| Variable_name | Value  |
+---------------+--------+
| table_type    | MYISAM |

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Is there a command at the command line that can tell me if I am using MyISAM
or InnoDB?  Thanks :-).
