Hi,

Apologies if this is obvious, but I haven't seen the answer in my perusal of the docs...

Does MySQL cluster work only with applications that use database transactions?

We are currently using master-slave replication on MyISAM tables, no transactions. We are weighing the cost/benefit of moving to a cluster setup.

It is not clear to me whether we will need to change the application layer to perform all database updates with transactions, or if we can just change the storage engine from MyISAM to NDB and away we go...

Can anyone please give me the bottom line on this?

Thanks, Ephraim
