[ensembl-dev] Ensembl MySQL Database Engine

[Alessandro Vullo]

Hi Chuck,

yes, we're actually considering switching to InnoDB and are in the 
process of testing the migration to this engine. Unfortunately, we 
cannot anticipate when exactly the move will occur, it'll be some time 
next year.

Hope that helps,

Alessandro
