mysql支持的两种主要表存储格式myisam，innodb，上个月做个项目时，先使用了innodb，结果速度特别慢，1秒钟只能插入10几条。后来换成myisam格式，一秒钟插入上万条。当时觉的这两个表的性能也差别太大了吧。后来自己推测，不应该差别这么慢，估计是写的插入语句有问题，决定做个测试：
测试环境：redhat linux9，4cpu，内存2g，mysql版本为4.1.6-gamma-standard
测试程序：python＋python-mysql模块。
测试方案：
1、myisam格式分别测试，事务和不用事务两种情况：
2、innodb格式分别测试autocommit＝1（不用begin transaction和用begin transaction模式），
autocommit=0 （不用begin transaction和用begin transaction模式）四种情况。
测试方法为插入10000条记录。为了测试不互相影响，单独建立了专用的测试表，建表语句如下：
1、myisam不用事务表：
create table `myisam_nt` (
`tableid` int(11) not null default '0',
`tablestring` varchar(21) not null default ''
) engine=myisam;
2、myisam用事务表:
create table `myisam_ts` (
`tableid` int(11) not null default '0',
`tablestring` varchar(21) not null default ''
) engine=myisam;
3、innodb关闭autocommit，不用事务:
create table `innodb_na_nb` (
`tableid` int(11) not null default '0',
`tablestring` varchar(21) not null default ''
) engine=innodb;
4、innodb关闭autocommit，用事务:
create table `innodb_na_be` (
`tableid` int(11) not null default '0',
`tablestring` varchar(21) not null default ''
) engine=innodb;
5、innodb开启autocommit，不用事务:
create table `innodb_au_nb` (
`tableid` int(11) not null default '0',
`tablestring` varchar(21) not null default ''
) engine=innodb;
6、innodb开启autocommit，用事务:
create table `innodb_au_be` (
`tableid` int(11) not null default '0',
`tablestring` varchar(21) not null default ''
) engine=innodb;
测试的python脚本如下：
#!/usr/bin/env python

结论：
由此得知影响速度的主要原因是autocommit默认设置是打开的，我当时的程序没有显式调用begin;开始事务，导致每插入一条都自动commit，严重影响了速度。
