Why remove django DATABASE_OPTIONS's “init_command set engine=INNODB” after table creation?

Question

Docs on creating your database tables says:

Another option is to use the init_command option for MySQLdb prior to creating your tables:

DATABASE_OPTI         


        

Answer 1

If you have other options, eg:

DATABASE_OPTIONS = { "init_command": "SET storage_engine=INNODB, wait_timeout = 30, time_zone =... ", }

then it doesn't hurt to leave the default storage engine set.
