InnoDB is a MySQL database storage engine, which has been gaining popularity lately, because it provides a significantly better overall performance and an improved database crash recovery in comparison with the default engine that’s used by the MySQL relational database management system – MyISAM. InnoDB is used by many developers that build scalable web applications, because it works much more effectively with huge amounts of data, while it keeps the server load low. In addition, it it locks only one row in the database in case any info should be modified, whereas many other engines lock the entire database table and hence need much more time to carry out several successive tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB adheres to the "all-or-nothing" rule – in case the entire data modification procedure cannot be completed successfully for whatever reason, the operation is rolled back to prevent scrambling or data loss. Magento and the newest editions of Joomla™ are two examples of famous PHP-powered apps which have shifted over to InnoDB.
