Hello folks,

I am just getting started using PHP + MySQL, coming from Coldfusion +
MSSQL and in need of a little enlightenment here. I'm working on a dev
box running win2k server (IIS) and have just installed MySQL 5, so far
so good, although I'm seeing alot of things (terms) I have no clue
about and need some clarification. Probably already put the cart
before the horse, but then, I've never been one to follow the
book ...trial and error for me....I have the administrator open
looking at the Schema Tables view. What is InnoDB? Can someone point
me to a good resource to familiarize myself with what I'll need to
know where all this is concenred please? TIA

Bob

InnoDB [3] is a Storage Engine [2] for MySQL [1].
