MyISAM vs INNODB

Hi Ray, Because I have seen so many opinions about this I thought I would seek yours since you have always been so helpful in the past.

Do you recommend MyISAM or INNODB as a database model?
Thanks. Emma.

Let me start by admitting I'm not an expert on this subject. I think there are pros and cons to both. I usually use INNODB, but it is probably more overhead than I need since I don't usually use transactions. MyISAM is supposed to be faster for simple queries, but they are both so fast that you would never notice the difference.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...
