InnoDB is a MySQL database engine, which has been gaining popularity lately, as it provides a better overall performance and an improved database crash recovery compared with the default engine that is used by the MySQL DBMS – MyISAM. InnoDB is preferred by many web developers that run highly scalable software apps, since it works more efficiently with large data volumes, while it keeps the server load low. In addition, it it locks only one row in the database if any info should be modified, while many other engines lock the entire database table and hence need much more time to perform multiple consecutive tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB follows a set of "all-or-nothing" rules – if the modification of the entire data cannot be completed for some reason, the action is rolled back to avoid confusion or the loss of data. Magento and the newest Joomla™ releases are two instances of widespread PHP script-based applications that have moved to InnoDB.
