alter table engine problems

[blacksea]

How can i change easy engine from a table i try with alter but after 4 hours still didnt finished, also i dumped the table changed to innodb but same 30 min didnt finished and i stopped... i try to change items from myisam to innodb , table items size = about 700MB , also i noticed after i changed table characters from myisam to innodb server didnt started even in 10 min and i changed back to myisam...

i think that because the item table changes a lot, you should keep it myisam (or innodb, im not sure)

myisam is not so good for some tables...
