InnoDB in general performs considerably better than MyISAM, especially on current MySQL branches. Percona claims that their XtraDB engine has a slight performance edge over InnoDB. I don't have any direct experience with MariaDB yet. MyISAM can perform reasonably in an almost-all-read situation, but on any modern-scale DB, as soon as you start throwing any significant percentage of writes into the query mix MyISAM performance completely tanks. I've seen all-MyISAM customer DBs at a complete standstill from write-contention bottlenecks. -- Phil Stracchino, CDK#2 DoD#299792458 ICBM: 43.5607, -71.355 ala...@caerllewys.net ala...@metrocast.net p...@co.ordinate.org Renaissance Man, Unix ronin, Perl hacker, SQL wrangler, Free Stater It's not the years, it's the mileage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
