InnoDB is a very popular storage engine for MySQL. It is an alternative to the default MyISAM engine and it has plenty of pluses which make it the preferred engine for plenty of script-driven web applications, including Joomla™ and Magento, which have switched over to InnoDB permanently. For example, adding huge amounts of data will be much faster with InnoDB, as it locks only a single database row to accomplish a given operation, not the entire database table, which makes the engine excellent for scalable apps. InnoDB also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the manner in which the data is treated. Simply put, adding new or editing existing data will either be entirely completed, or will be canceled and the operation will be rolled back in case a given issue appears during the process, therefore the content that remains in the database won’t be damaged.
