How can I change the default storage engine in phpmyadmin? I use InnoDB almost exclusively in my applications. However, if I'm not careful when setting up the table, I forget to change it and phpmyadmin sticks me with MyISAM.  Is there a way to change the default storage engine?
You have to add the line default-storage-engine = InnoDB under the [mysqld] section of your mysql config file (my.cnf or my.ini depending on your operation system) and restart the mysqld service.  

I don't believe you can change this through PhpMyAdmin.
