I would like innodb to be the default storage engine. What do I need to do?
解决方案
Under [mysqld] section in your ini file, add:
default-storage-engine = innodb
It is usually /etc/my.cnf, but not sure about Mac.
From the docs:
On Unix, Linux and Mac OS X, MySQL programs read startup options from the following files, in the specified order (top items are used first).
File Name Purpose
/etc/my.cnf Global options
/etc/mysql/my.cnf Global options (as of MySQL 5.1.15)
SYSCONFDIR/my.cnf Global options
$MYSQL_HOME/my.cnf Server-specific options
defaults-extra-file The file specified with --defaults-extra-file=path, if any
~/.my.cnf User-specific options
The last one is never used by the daemon.
