http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.0/ref/databases/#creating-your-tables says:
Another option is to use the init_command option for MySQLdb prior to creating your tables:
DATABASE_OPTIONS = {
"init_command": "SET storage_engine=INNODB",
}
This sets the default storage engine upon connecting to the database. After your tables have been created, you should remove this option.
Does anyone know why is it necessary to remove this option after table creation?
