===============

Drizzle's micro-kernel has been designed to allow for data to be stored and
5
 
provided for by different "engines". Engines differ in many ways, but the
6
 
three primary types are, temporary only, transactional, and non-transaction.

Drizzle runs by default with a transactional engine for both regular and
9
 
temporary tables. You can override this behavior by specifying a different
10
 
engine when creating a table.

Some engines (for example MyISAM) may only support creating temporary tables.
