    Hello,

    I read that InnoDB storage engine has better performance than MyISAM.

    For example here:
    https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/convert-myisam-to-innodb/

    I noticed that your plugin use some MyISAM storage engine in database.

    Is it safe to convert these MyISAM database tables to InnoDB?

    Will this help anything with your plugin?

    Or is there any reason why you use some MyISAM database tables?

    Thank you,

    David

    Hi,

    None of our create table SQL commands in the plugin specify a storage engine.

    So it will be using the default for your server.

    If your server supports the MyISAM storage engine there should be no harm in converting these.

    I recommend taking a backup before making any changes to your database so you can recover in the unlikely event there is a problem.

    Best Wishes,

    Ashley
