      Thanks for correcting me...
      Will the Archive Storage Engine be useful for my project..
      Please tell me how to install the Archive Storage engine...
      i tries configuring my table to archive storage engine but it gave an error in MySQL Query Browser that "the storage engine is not enabled currently"...
      Please tell me how to enable it and also enlighten me on the advantages of using this storage engine for implementing the Email facility in my project.....

            Do you have self-built MySQL? I've checked several Redhat and Debian boxes, and ARCHIVE storage engine is enabled on all of them. Looks like you have to rebuild MySQL with enabled ARCHIVE engine.

                Please also suggest me which would be the best storage engine to use for a social networking website with email facility....
                The performance of the site is the main issue....we dont want any problems with the performance speed of the site....So please suggest the best storage engine accordingly...

                  It's hard to say anything definitely without having detailed information about your application.
                  But in general - look at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/storage-engines.html, it describes features of different engines. Choose the best one for you (those one which fits all your requirements)
