InnoDB is a very popular database engine for the MySQL relational database management system. It’s an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has got a number of pluses which make it the engine of choice for plenty of open-source script-driven software applications, including Joomla™ and Magento, which have shifted over to InnoDB permanently. For instance, adding large volumes of data will be faster with InnoDB, as it locks only one database row to execute a particular task, not the entire table, which makes the engine ideal for scalable apps. InnoDB also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the way in which the data is tackled. In simpler words, adding new or modifying existing data will either be fully completed, or will be canceled and the operation will be rolled back in case a certain issue appears in the meantime, which is why the content that remains in the database will not be damaged.
