InnoDB is a popular database engine for MySQL. It’s an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has many strong sides which have made it the engine of choice for a lot of script-based apps, including Joomla™ and Magento, which have moved to InnoDB permanently. For instance, adding immense volumes of data will be much faster with InnoDB, since it locks only one row to carry out a particular operation, not the entire database table, which makes the engine excellent for scalable applications. InnoDB also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the way in which the info is handled. To put it simply, adding new or modifying existent data will either be fully completed, or will be annulled and the operation will be rolled back if any issue occurs during the process, which means that the content that remains in the database won’t be damaged.
