InnoDB

Post by erpo41 »

In the past, some of my zoneminder systems have been less than maintenance-free because they would occasionally lose power resulting in DB corruption. My research suggests that InnoDB tables are more fault tolerant than MyISAM tables.

Why hasn't zoneminder switched from MyISAM to InnoDB?

Hello and thanks for your input. User selectable database system would be a nice upgrade for Zoneminder. I hope to hear from you soon in a form of a patch.

Yeah, I just manually change each table to innodb via script or the mysql gui tools.
There was one table that wouldn't convert however. Don't remember which one it was.
