All,

I am using MySQL currently, but am starting to think that maybe I don't really need to use an RDBMS. The data I am storing ends up getting indexed with Sphinx because I have full-text indexes for about 40 million records.

I have an "items" table that is heavily updated with 40 million records every 1 or 2 days and I need all those items indexed so they can be searched. The problem that I'm having is that the table is constantly locked because an insert or delete is being performed.

I am playing with InnoDB vs MyIsam and have been trying to figure out how to get the best performance. I actually don't care about dirty reads, however, and wouldn't mind if all the 40 mm records could be read/inserted/updated/deleted without any locking at all. Are there known solutions for the kind of storage I am looking for? Anyone have any pointers? Is there a MySQL Storage Engine designed for this kind of usage, or is there a another server that is commonly used along with MySQL for this type of thing?
