i remember reading and have seen those that know so much more than I do
argue about this.
from what i have read on this i feel 1 type helps create a smaller database
while the other is better for searches.
i have also read that with todays computers it makes less of a difference as
far as the speed goes.
i am also happy for picking the right plan for my data base. the cheaper
plan would not allow me to create some of these relations using the MyISAM
and lucky for me the middle plan did include the InnoDB.
thank goodness those are the only 2 choices i have lol with this plan.
