– Default storage engine from MySQL5.5
– General purpose storage engine with good balance of reliability and performance.
– DML operations process transactions according to the ACID model, such as commit rollback and crash recovery
– Data is aligned on disk so that queries are optimized based on primary key
– Operations that call different storage engine tables can be mixed in one query
– Foreign key constraints are also supported
– InnoDB stores in tablespaces whereas MyISAM always stores data in file
– The good thing about MyISAM is that it can be easily backed up and copied in units of tables, but innoDB is still poorly managed in this respect.
– Table spaces can be stored in files, but can also be written directly to partitions.
– There is unique buffer pool for caching data and indexes in many mamory, which helps high speed data access.
