I was horrified when i realize wordpress is using myisam. I tried googling wordpress codex innodb but got forum post, pages in other languages and random links mentioning mysql

How do i get wordpress to install/use innodb?

WordPress doesn't really know or care which MySQL engine is used (as far as I know). How to switch engine is MySQL question and as such is better asked at other site of network (probably Stack Overflow or Server Fault). – Rarst♦ Nov 9 '11 at 11:28
@Rarst Are you sure it doesnt care? I hope no plugins break but are you saying i wont get incorrect or strange behavior if i switch w/o configuring wordpress to do so? – acidzombie24 Nov 9 '11 at 11:42
there are some incompatibilities (some specific commands like INSERT DELAYED require specific engine to run), but WP core and generic plugins should have no issue with different engines. – Rarst♦ Nov 9 '11 at 11:51
@Rarst ok thats good to know and exactly why i asked. I ended up looking into mysql and found there is a way to make innodb the default engine. Now when i make my next (this one is a throwaway pratice) site the db will be correct – acidzombie24 Nov 9 '11 at 12:08
