I have a main form representing the model, let''s call that ''Order'', and a partial displaying its'' OrderLines.

Hi, I have been using myisam tables in mysql with rails because my client will soon want fulltext searchable content, however when I migrated my development db from schema.rb all of the tables generated were innodb.
