+<?php ?>
+Doctrine offers various table options. All table options can be set via Doctrine_Record::option($optionName, $value)
+<br \><br \>
+For example if you are using Mysql and want to use INNODB tables it can be done as follows:
+<br \><br \>
+<?php
+renderCode("<?php
+class MyInnoDbRecord extends Doctrine_Record
+{
+    public function setTableDefinition()
+    {
+        \$this->hasColumn('name', 'string');
+
+        \$this->option('engine', 'INNODB');
+    }
+}
+?>");
+?> <br \><br \>
+In the following example we set the collate and character set options:
+<br \><br \>
+<?php
+renderCode("<?php
+class MyCustomOptionRecord extends Doctrine_Record
+{
+    public function setTableDefinition()
+    {
+        \$this->hasColumn('name', 'string');
+
+        \$this->option('collate', 'utf8_unicode_ci');
+        \$this->option('charset', 'utf8');
+    }
+}
+?>");
+?>
