some questions:
1. I see quite a lot fo mediawiki's tables use auto-increment as primary key but we know that this is no good for innodb, do you guy aware of this problem?
2. Why the datasebase dump (/download.wikimedia.org) do not use a unqiue format? eg. some files are XML and some files are SQL
3. Why not output as CSV format so we can use mysqlimport, which is a LOT faster for all of us.
thanks.
