Description:
When creating a new table using MySQL Control Center, the default table setting
i.e. the following line in C:\WINNT\my.ini
  default-table-type=innodb
is ignored.
The table type listed in the table properties tab of the 'Creating table' window always defaults to MyISAM and must be changed for each new table.

If a table is created using SQL code in the command line interface (i.e. not using MySQL Control Centre) the default table setting is applied as expected.

The MySQL server was installed from mysql-4.0.18-win.zip on the same computer.

How to repeat:
Add default-table-type=innodb to My.ini & re-start the database server.

Right click on tables in the desired database and select New Table.
Click the table properties tab.
The Table type is MyISAM.

Suggested fix:
On opening the create table window, the table type should be set to the default defined by parameters.

Another side affect of this bug is for modifying existing tables. I had an existing "HEAP" table that I wanted to add a column to. Since the Table Type defaulted to MyISAM (I didn't notice it swithced it on me), when I saved my column change it also converted my table from "HEAP" to "MyISAM".

Hi!

MySQLCC has been discontinued and will not be developed nor maintained anymore with the exception of Critical bugs.

In the near future we will release the substitute of MySQLCC called MySQL Query Browser.
