We're currently using MyISAM, with the databases being dumped to a filesystem on a separate drive, in case the main drive goes down. However we will need to implement some kind of transactional engine in the near future, and we'd prefer not to take down the database to take a backup. > Any thoughts ? > Thanks > Pierre > > > --------------------------------- > Looking for last minute shopping deals?
