InnoDB is a MySQL database engine, which has been gaining popularity in recent years, as it provides a better overall performance and a faster crash recovery compared with the default engine used by the MySQL database management system – MyISAM. InnoDB is used by plenty of web developers that run scalable apps, due to the fact that it works more effectively with large volumes of data, while it keeps the server load low. Furthermore, it locks only one database row if any information should be updated, while many other engines lock the entire database table and therefore need more time to execute multiple successive tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB obeys a set of "all-or-nothing" rules – if the entire data modification procedure cannot be completed for any reason, the operation is rolled back to avoid confusion or the loss of data. Magento and the newest Joomla™ versions are two instances of popular open-source script-powered software platforms which have moved to InnoDB.
