InnoDB is a MySQL storage engine, which has been gaining popularity in recent years, as it provides a significantly better overall performance and a faster crash recovery in comparison with the default engine that is used by the MySQL relational database management system – MyISAM. InnoDB is endorsed by plenty of programmers that build scalable software applications, because it works more efficiently with large data volumes, while it keeps the server processing load at a minimum. Moreover, it it locks only one row in the database if any info should be updated, whereas many other engines lock the entire table and hence need more time to process multiple successive tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB complies with a set of "all-or-nothing" rules – if the entire data modification procedure cannot be completed for any reason, the action is rolled back to prevent confusion or data loss. Magento and the newest Joomla™ versions are two instances of popular PHP script-powered software platforms that have shifted over to InnoDB.

MyISAM, the default MySQL engine, will be installed too. You can set up a brand-new MySQL database and start the app installation process manually or through our 1-click installer tool. The system will automatically recognize which engine the application in question requires and will assign it to the specific MySQL database, so the installation will continue impeccably and the application can insert its content into that database.

All it takes to run such a script is to create a new database and to begin the setup process – once the script installation wizard gets access to the database in question and starts importing data into it, InnoDB will be set as the default engine for this database as long as it is the one required by the script. You will also be able to activate scripts that require the other popular MySQL engine – MyISAM, so you will not need to configure any settings on the dedicated server. This will allow you to run various scripts on a single machine and to use it to its fullest capacity.
