Description:
NOTE: This is more of a feature request than a bug. This really depends on how long we will offer both a plugin and the built-in, etc.
I believe we should add the ability for the users to choose if they want to use the built-in Innodb engine vs. the plugin.
As it currently works, if a user wants to use the .msi and the plugin, they must:
1) Install / configure the wizard with the .msi
2) Alter the my.ini file per the docs (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/innodb.html)
3) Restart the server
Additionally, if the user should happen to use the Instance config. wizard to alter anything with the server, they must repeat steps 2 and 3 again as their changes will be lost.
How to repeat:
Install the server with the plugin.
Follow the steps listed here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/innodb.html
and add the listed changes to the my.ini file.
Restart the server to use the plugin (if desired)
Re-configure the server with the .msi wizard.
Observe that that plugin-specific changes have been removed.
Suggested fix:
Allow the user to pick (possibly via checkboxes) if they want to use the built-in vs. the plugin.
If we do go that route, we might also allow the user to choose the Innodb-specific I_S tables as well (via another checkbox).
