InnoDB

InnoDB is a MySQL database engine, which has been gaining popularity lately, as it provides a much better overall performance and an improved database failure recovery compared with the default engine that’s used by the MySQL relational database management system – MyISAM. InnoDB is preferred by plenty of devs that run scalable apps, due to the fact that it works better with huge data volumes, while it keeps the server load low. Additionally, it locks only a single database row in case any information should be updated, while many other engines lock the entire table and hence require more time to execute multiple successive tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB obeys the "all-or-nothing" rule – in case the modification of the entire data cannot be completed for whatever reason, the operation is rolled back to prevent confusion or losing data. Magento and the newest editions of Joomla^™ are two instances of widely used PHP-driven software platforms that have switched over to InnoDB.
