Development Tools

I have started to experiment with java servlet making simple pages that display text on the screen.
I have loaned a book from the library about MySQL, called MySQL, The definitive guide to using, programming, and administering MySQL 4.1 and 5.0 by Paul DuBois. I have brushed up my MySQL and can create and alter tables. one of the key things that i have picked up from this book is that MySQL has different storage engines. Each storage engines has different features. I think that i am going to use the InnoDB storage engine because it has foreign key and referential integrity support which i think will be needed in a database storage solution for my project. for example jobs only flagged for faults that relate to a computer in inventory
