Drizzle: Now with the InnoDB Plugin

Posted in drizzle, mysql by mtaylor on the October 28, 2008

The InnoDB plugin is now merged into the Drizzle mainline. There is still one weird outstanding bug that I know of. Why is this exciting? The main things found in the plugin that I’m excited about are:

  • New compressed table format.
  • Adding or dropping indexes can now bypass the table copy
  • Information Schema plugins with InnoDB internals data

Not to mention, something tells me that the plugin will be getting more dev attention, and should be easier to track moving forward.

I’ve been doing my best to make the changes in such a way that they could be potentially merged back into the plugin upstream, should Oracle care to. (which I hope they will)
