Explain the difference between MyISAM Static and MyISAM
Dynamic?

Answer Posted / amith

In MyISAM static all the fields have fixed width. The
Dynamic MyISAM table would include fields such as TEXT,
BLOB, etc. to accommodate the data types with various
lengths.

MyISAM Static would be easier to restore in case of
corruption, since even though you might lose some data, you
know exactly where to look for the beginning of the next
record.
