InnoDB
Find out more on InnoDB and see why it’s already been chosen as the default MySQL database engine.
InnoDB is a very popular storage engine for the MySQL relational database management system. It’s an alternative to the default MyISAM engine and it has got a lot of upsides that have made it the preferred engine for many PHP-based software apps, including Magento and Joomla™, which have switched to InnoDB for good. For example, importing huge data volumes will be faster with InnoDB, since it locks only a single database row to accomplish a certain operation, not the entire database table, which makes the engine perfect for scalable apps. It also supports foreign keys and transactions – these refer to the way in which the information is handled. In simpler words, importing new or modifying existing data will either be entirely completed, or will be canceled and the operation will be rolled back in case a given issue shows up in the meantime, which is why the content that remains in the database won’t be damaged.
