InnoDB is a popular database engine for MySQL. It is an alternative to the default MyISAM engine and it has lots of strengths which make it the engine of choice for plenty of PHP-based software applications, among them Joomla™ and Magento, which have switched over to InnoDB for good. For instance, adding immense amounts of data will be much faster with InnoDB, because it locks only a single database row to complete a given task, not the entire table, which makes the engine excellent for scalable apps. It also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the way in which the info is handled. Put simply, importing new or editing existing data will either be entirely completed, or will be canceled and the operation will be rolled back if some problem occurs during the process, therefore the content that remains in the database won’t be damaged.
