I want my installation profile to set the default input format. What table is this setting stored in?

It does NOT seem to be stored in the filter_formats table...

table is "variable", name is "filter_default_format"

I'm going to set up my installation profile to edit the variable table using db_query, but I suspect this is the wrong way to do it. What is the correct way?

Oops - I can't just update the variable since I don't know what the "s:1:" notation means...

Similarly I can't Insert the "site_offline_message" variable because I don't know how to deal with the "s:#:" prefix on the string. I've checked multiple site databases and each one uses a different 3 digit number after the "s:"

If you run across this post and can offer some help it's much appreciated.

Use variable_set('filter_default_format', 'machine-readable-name-of-desired-input-filter')

Also see variable_get
