Why MyISAM is default MYSQL engine?

Many developers agrees: "In most cases InoDB is better (faster and more reliable) than MyISAM".
So, what is a reason to MYSQL creators set MyISAM as default engine? Any idea?

Solution

  • MyISAM hasn't been the default storage engine for years.

    The default_storage_engine was changed to InnoDB in MySQL 5.5.5, which was released in 2010-07-06.
