InnoDB is a storage engine for MySQL relational databases, which is used by widely used PHP script-powered web applications such as Magento and Joomla™ 3. It’s ideal for scalable apps, because it performs exceptionally well when managing immense data volumes. Rather than locking the whole database table to insert new information in a database like many other engines do, InnoDB locks only one database row, so it can handle a lot more operations for the same period of time. Moreover, InnoDB offers an improved database crash recovery and supports transactions and foreign key constraints – rules that prescribe how data imports and modifications should be treated. If a given operation has not been fully completed for whatever reason, the action will be rolled back. Thus, the database content will be preserved undamaged and will not be partially mixed with newly imported content.
InnoDB in Website Hosting
Every open-source script-powered web application that needs InnoDB will function impeccably on our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform and the database storage engine comes with all our website hosting plans. Whenever you create a MySQL database manually or our app installer creates one automatically and an app installation is initiated, the engine that the database will make use of will be selected in accordance with the app’s prerequisites without the need to configure any setting in your shared account. InnoDB will be picked automatically for any application that requires this particular engine and you will be able to make the most of its full capacity. We’ll create daily content backups, so in case you accidentally remove a database that is important to you or you overwrite specific parts of it, we will be able to restore everything the way it was only a couple of hours earlier.
InnoDB in Dedicated Hosting
InnoDB comes by default with all Linux dedicated hosting that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. It’s an integral part of the standard software package that we install on all Hepsia-managed servers, so as soon as your physical machine is set up, you will be able to sign in and to activate a various PHP-driven software app that requires this particular MySQL database engine. If you set up a new database via the hosting Control Panel, there won’t be any active engine until you begin installing an application. As soon as the app installation wizard starts importing information into the database, the engine will be chosen automatically on the basis of the prerequisites of the specific application, so you can use both InnoDB and MyISAM without the need to select either one explicitly at any point. Thus, you can use an immense selection of applications for your Internet sites.
