InnoDB is a very popular database engine for MySQL. It is an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has many strengths which have made it the preferred engine for lots of script-based applications, including Magento and Joomla™, which have switched over to InnoDB permanently. For instance, importing enormous data volumes will be faster with InnoDB, as it locks only one database row to complete a particular operation, not the entire table, which makes the engine excellent for scalable apps. InnoDB also supports foreign keys and transactions – these refer to the way in which the info is tackled. To put it simply, appending new or editing existent data will either be fully completed, or will be annulled and the operation will be rolled back if a certain issue shows up during the process, thus the content that remains in the database will not be damaged.
