InnoDB is a database engine for MySQL relational databases, which is used by popular script-based software applications such as Magento and Joomla™ v3. It’s perfect for scalable applications, as it works stunningly well when managing enormous volumes of data. Instead of locking the whole database table to import new information into a database as many other engines do, InnoDB locks only one database row, so it can carry out much more operations for the same length of time. Besides, InnoDB offers an improved crash recovery and supports database transactions and foreign keys – a set of rules that define how data imports and updates should be treated. If a certain operation has not been entirely completed for any reason, the action will be rolled back. Thus, the information in the database will be retained safe and sound and will not be partially merged with newly entered content.
