Hello, My perception of the InnoDB vs BDB question is that although the BDB is very impressive and long standing, it does not get the same level of attention that InnoDB seems to get from the good folks at MySQL AB. If I am not mistaken, BDB does not yet offer foreign key support.
I have chosen InnoDB instead of BDB and have not been disappointed so far. A signed interger is one that can accept both positive and negative values. Because storing the sign of a number uses one bit, and unsigned interger can hold a larger positve value than an unsigned integer. For example, given a 16 bit interger, the maximum value for an unsigned is 2^16, and 2^15 for the signed version.
