mysql support

[johnnysocko]

I was anxious to join BH to get on a version 4 of mysql.
Now, I'm not so sure.
Seems the BH mysql engines only support myisam tables, and not innodb?
So, that means I can't take advantage of database transaction support, which was what I was so looking forward to in the first place?
Can someone confirm?
Any plans to go to version 5 anytime soon?

You have to ask for it. They only have a few servers with it cause if they upgrade all the servers they will have to take all the servers down for a while. I currently have msql 5 and PHP 5. Just ask and thy will do it for you. Not everyone needs mysql and PHP 5 ecause most current CMSs and software do not require it. Except for a few more advanced ones like WikiMedia.

You mean you have to beg for PHP5?:rolleyes: :eek:
But how do you ask?
Any links?
