Talk:MySQL/Table types

I added a section: "Metadata about Storage Engines".

I think that this page name should be changed. "Table Types" is an obsolete term and syntaxes like SHOW TABLE TYPES are now deprecated. The term "Storage Engines" should be used instead.

Merging to optimization
I don't think this should be merged to optimization. Table types have an effect on optimization, but that's not the only reason for choosing one table type over another (locking strategy can be important for reasons other than performance). --Fishpi (discuss • contribs) 15:39, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
