InnoDB is a very popular database storage engine for the MySQL RDBMS. It’s an alternative to the default MyISAM engine and it has got plenty of advantages that have made it the engine of choice for many PHP-based apps, including Joomla™ and Magento, which have switched to InnoDB for good. For example, adding large data volumes will be faster with InnoDB, because it locks only a single row to complete a task, not the entire table, which makes the engine excellent for scalable applications. It also supports foreign keys and transactions – these refer to the way in which the info is tackled. Simply put, adding new or editing existing data will either be fully completed, or will be aborted and the procedure will be rolled back if some issue shows up during the process, so the content that remains in the database won’t be damaged.
