InnoDB is a popular database engine for MySQL. It is an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has got plenty of strong sides that make it the engine of choice for a lot of open-source script-based apps, such as Joomla™ and Magento, which have switched over to InnoDB permanently. For example, importing large amounts of data will be much faster with InnoDB, due to the fact that it locks only one row to carry out a given operation, not the entire table, which makes the engine perfect for scalable apps. It also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the manner in which the info is handled. Simply put, appending new or updating existent data will either be thoroughly completed, or will be annulled and the procedure will be rolled back if a certain problem appears in the meantime, hence the content that remains in the database won’t be damaged.

Irrespective of whether you create a brand-new MySQL database and activate an application manually or make use of our one-click application installer instrument, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our system as the default engine if the application needs InnoDB instead of MyISAM.
