Hi,

I'm not a mysql/database expert, but I've being searching about the differences of InnoDB and MyISAM.

Basically I've found that innoDB is fast for inserting and MyISAM for select.

This post is interesting about the database of wikipedia and recommends InnoDB: http://mysqldatabaseadministration.blogspot.com/2006/02/innodb-or-myisam-whats-your-preference.html#c113907181500392305

For large projects based in ezp4 what database configuration do you would recommend? What experience do you have? Would you use PostgreSQL or Mysql or Oracle (ezp 4.1)?

Andreas,

You need InnoDB in order to have transactions in MySQL, and that might be a must for large projects. Also, if you plan some dedicated tables using MyISAM, I would check on how those tables deal with data removal (I heard that there are problems) and also consider the use.

I don't know much about other DBs, but seems to me like MySQL is getting more and more appreciated for its efficiency.

BTW. Has anyone tried to run eZ Publish with MySQL isolation level set to SERIALIZABLE? ;)

It is the question I want to ask. I'm using InnoDB, and I think I'm right. Thanks!

You do not need a db user with root privileges on the myssql server to install eZP. You only need a db user with the rights on a single database - the one that will be used.

Do not be fooled by the fact that in the page where the setup wizard asks for a db user and password there is no choice of the database to use - that choice is still present at a later page.

Funny to see my old topic related with db live again :)

Paulik about your error in installation, it could be memory related (installation is very memory consuming...):
