My ISAM InnoDB
Required full text Search Yes
Require Transactions Yes
frequent select queries Yes
frequent insert,update,delete Yes
Row Locking (multi processing on single table) Yes
Relational base design Yes

Hi, I have briefly discuss this matter by table so you can conclude which has to be chosen either innodb or MyISAM.

Great work but you just can’t compare myisam with innodb without a group by statement and 10 updates/seccond:)

I wish I could do the test by my core duo is just too slow.

Can I second 54. Shaun?

“I realized that I should use transactions, but unfortunately I had to give up the â€œspeedâ€ of MyISAM for InnoDB. Your benchmarks make me feel much better about my decision. =)”

This is exactly the same thing I was led to believe… I keep thinking… mmm I NEED Transactions but I don’t want to lose the performance! Damn where did I get this idea from? I’ve only started looking into it deeply since MySQL stated they were moving to InnoDB as their default engine and that there are so many myths surrounding MyISAM being a ‘faster reader’ etc.

Thanks for the great article… now I have to get ahold of your book as I feel there is so much I do not know and I should

Eric, you should open a transaction (BEGIN TRAN) before inserting a large number of rows, them COMMIT.

In my case, I need to insert/update 40,000+ rows quite often
InnoDB will take me around 1 hr
compare with MyISAM only will take no more than 70 “SECONDS”
