InnoDB
Find out about InnoDB and see why it’s recently been chosen as the default MySQL database engine.
InnoDB is a very popular storage engine for the MySQL DBMS. It’s an alternative to the default MyISAM engine and it has got plenty of advantages that make it the preferred engine for lots of open-source script-powered software apps, among them Joomla™ and Magento, which have moved to InnoDB permanently. For instance, adding large volumes of data will be much faster with InnoDB, as it locks only one row to complete a specific operation, not the entire table, which makes the engine perfect for scalable applications. It also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the way in which the info is tackled. Put simply, appending new or updating existing data will either be fully completed, or will be canceled and the procedure will be rolled back if any issue shows up in the meantime, hence the content that remains in the database won’t be damaged.

InnoDB in VPS Servers
If you get a
VPS server with our Hepsia Control Panel, the InnoDB storage engine will be an indivisible part of the software bundle that will be pre-installed on your VPS server before we give it to you. You will not need to configure anything manually and you’ll be able to install and manage any open-source script-driven web application that needs InnoDB once your VPS server is ready, which takes no more than one hour after the order procedure itself. A few engines are offered, so every time you set up a MySQL database via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, a specific engine will be activated when the app activation process begins and our system will automatically recognize the engine that is required by the application in question. If you need to use MyISAM, for example, you will not have to do anything different from installing the preferred application, whether manually or using our app installer.

dedicated server from our company.

If you create a new MySQL database in your account, there won’t be any active MySQL database engine until you begin installing a script, whether manually through your web browser or using the automatic scripts installer that is available in the hosting Control Panel. The necessary engine will be detected and will be assigned to that database, so you can install scripts that require InnoDB, as well as ones that require MyISAM, the default MySQL engine, without coming across any impediment.
