Explain advantages of MyISAM over InnoDB?..

Answer / amith

Much more conservative approach to disk space management -
each MyISAM table is stored in a separate file, which could
be compressed then with myisamchk if needed. With InnoDB
the tables are stored in tablespace, and not much further
optimization is possible. All data except for TEXT and BLOB
can occupy 8,000 bytes at most. No full text indexing is
available for InnoDB. TRhe COUNT(*)s execute slower than in
MyISAM due to tablespace complexity.
