[wp-hackers] InnoDB

[Brian Layman]

Agreed.  Your method for conversion should work fine if you drop the 
full text searches first.   There are various trade-offs between InnoDB 
and MyISAM. You need to choose the one that meets your requirement best.

I can confirm that you convert MU installs with hundreds of blogs 
without a problem.  Just make sure you watch your resources while you 
are doing it. Running both InnoDB and MyISAM database engines will 
obviously take up more memory, but that's easy to forget.  You're using 
two sets of buffers and logs et al. So when you switch over, you may 
want to switch all databases over.
