[Mediawiki-l] MYISAM or InnoDB best for Mediawiki?

[Rolf Lampa]

(didn't seem to get through to the mailing list, trying again)

Hi all,

I didn't find any informative help or discussions on whether to set up
the database for MediaWiki with MYISAM tables or InnoDB. Any differences
for local win32 machines (XAMPP) compared to "real" web servers (using
Debian & Ubuntu).

Any links to read, or do you have any suggestions to give right here?
General advice regarding "optimal" settings (which of course takes some
context, but some contexts may be typical... no?). Etc.

(well, data import (sql, extended inserts) seems to be way much faster
on MYISAM, but that's of course not all there's to it)

Regards,
