InnoDB is a very popular database engine for MySQL. It is an alternative to the default MyISAM engine and it has a number of strong sides that make it the preferred engine for plenty of script-powered software apps, among them Joomla™ and Magento, which have moved to InnoDB permanently. For example, adding immense data volumes will be much faster with InnoDB, due to the fact that it locks only a single row to accomplish a task, not the entire database table, which makes the engine ideal for scalable apps. It also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the manner in which the data is treated. To put it simply, appending new or editing existent data will either be entirely completed, or will be annulled and the procedure will be rolled back if any issue occurs during the process, which is why the content that remains in the database won’t be lost.
