I have a very big innodb database on linux. I am now, doubtful, if its log/archives are causing some slow-ness in the database’s performances. Since a cron script takes the full-database backup everyday, I now want to remove these archivals. How can I do this?

I messed with this forever, then finally looked at the config options, and sure enough, the ./configure expects innobase:

from: http://www.innodb.com/support/tips

On MySQL 5.1, ./configure expects a different parameter:

$ ./configure –with-plugins=innobase

You can with sql_mode = NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION. It’s just that it’s not the default.

create table test (id int) engine=blackhole;
ERROR 1289 (HY000): The ‘BLACKHOLE’ feature is disabled; you need MySQL built with ‘BLACKHOLE’ to have it working
