To change the default MySQL table type, edit your my.cnf file (usually /etc/mysql/my.cnf on ubuntu), and add the following line to the [mysqld] section :
1
default-table-type=innodb
The resulting config will look something like this :
12345678910111213141516171819202122232425
.....
[mysqld]#* * Basic Settings
##* * IMPORTANT
* If you make changes to these settings and your system uses apparmor, you may
* also need to also adjust /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld.
#user= mysql
pid-file = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
socket= /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
port= 3306
basedir= /usr
datadir= /var/lib/mysql
tmpdir= /tmp
language= /usr/share/mysql/english
skip-external-locking
default-character-set=utf8
skip-character-set-client-handshake
default-table-type=innodb
.....
You can also add the –default-table-type=innodb argument to mysqld on startup to achieve the same result.
