The :program:`myisam` plugin provides the classic MySQL MyISAM storage engine.
5
Unlike MySQL, however, the :doc:`/plugins/innobase/index` is the
6
default storage engine in Drizzle.
13
This plugin is loaded by default, but it may need to be configured. See
14
the plugin's :ref:`myisam_configuration` and
15
:ref:`myisam_variables`.
17
To stop the plugin from loading by default, start :program:`drizzled`
20
--plugin-remove=myisam
22
.. seealso:: :doc:`/options` for more information about adding and removing plugins.

.. _myisam_configuration:

These command line options configure the plugin when :program:`drizzled`
30
is started. See :doc:`/configuration` for more information about specifying
35
.. option:: --myisam.max-sort-file-size ARG
38
:Variable: :ref:`myisam_max_sort_file_size <myisam_max_sort_file_size>`

:Variable: :ref:`myisam_sort_buffer_size <myisam_sort_buffer_size>`
