Just wondering what the best storage engine to use for my website would be? I manually enter values into the database – there is no user input being put into the database itself. It basically holds short values, as well as some short URLs (for images based on the content). I noticed on the empty table I have InnoDB has a 3,690MB overhead..which seems a little extreme considering it’s not being accessed.
Would MyISAM be better? Suggestions?
EDIT: All I’m really doing, aside from manually inputting the values in phpMyAdmin is querying the rows and displaying the data on the page using variables.
As a general recommendation, use InnoDB, 3.690Mb is nothing.
