使用~/.my.cnf更改默认mysql存储引擎

我正在使用MySQL 5.5，并试图更改默认的存储引擎，仅限我自己使用。我尝试按照我在此处找到的说明在我的主目录中创建.my.cnf文件：

您可以在此处看到我迄今所做的更改：

selah@selah-OptiPlex-9020:~$ cat .my.cnf
[mysqld]
default-storage-engine=MyISAM
selah@selah-OptiPlex-9020:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
[sudo] password for selah: 
 * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld                                                                                                  [ OK ] 
 * Starting MySQL database server mysqld                                                                                                  [ OK ] 
 * Checking for tables which need an upgrade, are corrupt or were 
not closed cleanly.

但是MyISAM仍然不是默认值

我怎样才能让它工作

编辑：对于记录，我只是能够通过编辑我的/etc/mysql/my.cnf文件并重新启动我的计算机来实现这一点，只是重新启动进程失败了。但是，我仍然想了解如何仅为我的用户更改此设置

默认存储引擎是服务器设置，而不是连接设置。mysqld服务器不读取用户“~/.my.cnf”，客户端只读取[client]部分，而不读取[mysqld]部分

您可以通过“~/.my.cnf”中[client]部分的init命令进行更改，不过：

init-command="SET default_storage_engine=MYISAM;"

InnoDB是一个很好的默认值。您有哪些要求使MyISAM成为必要的？相比之下，这是一台糟糕的发动机。
