Good reasons to use myisam tables in MySQL

In my previous post I mentioned that my rule of thumb for MySQL table types is to default to innodb unless there is a very good reason to use myisam, so here are some good reasons to use myisam:

• You are just adding to a table using very few threads (so there is minimal contention) and are never reading from it.
• You are just reading from a table and very seldom updating it.

Thats about it…
