Answer / madhuri

1) MYISAM is faster then the InnoDB but in case of perforing
the count operation it takes more time then the InnoDB.
2)MYISAM does not support the foreign key constraint and
transaction but InnoDB support it.
3)Upto Mysql 5.0 MyIsam is the default engine and from
Mysql 5.1 Innodb is the default engine.
4)MyIsam supports table level lock and where as Innodb
supports row level locking.

Thanks.,
Madhuri.
