Hi,

did anybody ever try to run the standard test suite with another table handler?

We think about switching to InnoDB, but we see problems..:

- The maximum blob/text length. We use MySQL for our support emails. 
(Restructuring the database to use a mix of InnoDB and myISAM would 
work, but not in the short term.) The docs say this should be fixed 
by now, but is it??

- No fulltext index on non-MyISAM tables. (Why not? You could keep 
the fulltext index in a separate file.)

- The worst, though, is that the standard test suite fails when using 
InnoDB as the default handler. IMHO it shouldn't -- all tests which 
are not table-specific should work with all tables, and those that 
are should explicitly specify the table type they need.
