In production server as of now we are running with MyIsam tables only, hence we have disabled the innodb engine with skip-innodb option. But now onwards we need to enable the innodb engine as well for creating few innodb tables. So we have commented the [ #skip-innodb ] option in my.cnf and restarted. Please go through the below cases and request to provide any solution or tips for the same ?
Case 1: Disabled the innodb with skip-innodb option and "mysql>show engines" givens as below.
mysql> show engines;
+------------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+
| Engine | Support | Comment | Transactions | XA | Savepoints |
+------------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+
| InnoDB | NO | Supports transactions, row-level locking, and foreign keys | NULL | NULL | NULL |
| MRG_MYISAM | YES | Collection of identical MyISAM tables | NO | NO | NO |
| BLACKHOLE | YES | /dev/null storage engine (anything you write to it disappears) | NO | NO | NO |
| CSV | YES | CSV storage engine | NO | NO | NO |
| MEMORY | YES | Hash based, stored in memory, useful for temporary tables | NO | NO | NO |
| FEDERATED | NO | Federated MySQL storage engine | NULL | NULL | NULL |
| ARCHIVE | YES | Archive storage engine | NO | NO | NO |
| MyISAM | DEFAULT | Default engine as of MySQL 3.23 with great performance | NO | NO | NO |
+------------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+
8 rows in set (0.01 sec)
Engine | Support ...
| InnoDB | NO ......
Case 2: As I want to enable the innodb, I commanded the #skip-innodb option and restarted. But now the show engines even not showing the InnoDB engine in the list. ?
