MySQL支持的两种主要表存储格式MyISAM，InnoDB，上个月做个项目时，先使用了InnoDB，结果速度特别慢，1秒钟只能插入10几条。后来换成MyISAM格式，一秒钟插入上万条。当时决定这两个表的性能也差别太大了吧。后来自己推测，不应该差别这么慢，估计是写的插入语句有问题，决定做个测试：
测试环境：Redhat Linux9，4CPU，内存2G，MySQL版本为4.1.6-gamma-standard
测试程序：Python＋Python-MySQL模块。
测试方案：
1、MyISAM格式分别测试，事务和不用事务两种情况：
2、InnoDB格式分别测试AutoCommit＝1（不用begin transaction和用begin transaction模式），
AutoCommit=0 （不用begin transaction和用begin transaction模式）四种情况。
测试方法为插入10000条记录。为了测试不互相影响，单独建立了专用的测试表，建表语句如下：
1、MyISAM不用事务表：
CREATE TABLE MyISAM_NT (
TableId int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
TableString varchar(21) NOT NULL default ''
) ENGINE=MyISAM;
2、MyISAM用事务表:
CREATE TABLE MyISAM_TS (
TableId int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
TableString varchar(21) NOT NULL default ''
) ENGINE=MyISAM;
3、InnoDB关闭AutoCommit，不用事务:
CREATE TABLE INNODB_NA_NB (
TableId int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
TableString varchar(21) NOT NULL default ''
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
4、InnoDB关闭AutoCommit，用事务:
CREATE TABLE INNODB_NA_BE (
TableId int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
TableString varchar(21) NOT NULL default ''
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
5、InnoDB开启AutoCommit，不用事务:
CREATE TABLE INNODB_AU_NB (
TableId int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
TableString varchar(21) NOT NULL default ''
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
6、InnoDB开启AutoCommit，用事务:
CREATE TABLE INNODB_AU_BE (
TableId int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
TableString varchar(21) NOT NULL default ''
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
测试的Python脚本如下：

结论：
由此得知影响速度的主要原因是AUTOCOMMIT默认设置是打开的，
我当时的程序没有显式调用BEGIN;开始事务，导致每插入一条都自动Commit，严重影响了速度。
算来也是个低级错误！
