Changing the storage default engine to InnoDB (1 reply)

Hi,

I have installed mysql 5.1.41 on my ubuntu server. I see that the default storage engine is MyISAM. But I want to use InnoDB. InnoDB is enabled as I could see 'Yes' when I ran show engines command. But now, how do I make it default? Do i need tos et default_storage-engine = InnoDB in my.cnf file as suggested in a website? or just leave everything as is and mention the engine in create table and tablespace scripts? If so, how can I mention autoextend?

Appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Padma.
