Hi,

as I am developing a web application where transactions are a very helpful thing, I just want to know how many of you have turned the support on/off. Because it is an OpenSource application I want to reach many people and in fact systems where it can be run.

Thanks!
Best regards,
Daniel M.

From my experience it is very rare to find a setup where InnoDB is not enabled, as it comes standard and can be very useful.

If your application would do better to use it, I would not worry about those who have disabled it, as they can simply re-enable it.

I would not care about that. Creating more complex database designs with MyISAM, where the operations can't lead to a data corruption is very hard. I would not care about such people. If they don't have InnoDB, they'd better install one. You should benefit users who use good technologies, not punish them just because of someone else's lack of technological knowledge.
