Data Warehouses - What a Difference a Storage Engine Can Make!

MySQL provides you with a choice of storage engines to power your data warehouse applications. When choosing a storage engine for a data warehouse application, it is important to consider:

• Is the amount of incoming data overpowering your database?
• Are you implementing complex load scripts to overcome performance limitations?
• Are you limiting the number of indices in your database?
• Have your range query response times become unacceptably slow?
• Are you spending valuable time and resources in database maintenance, including dumping and reloading the database, just to maintain performance?
• Are you buying disk drives just to improve performance?
