InnoDB is a very popular storage engine for MySQL. It is an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has a lot of strengths which have made it the preferred engine for plenty of open-source script-driven software apps, including Joomla and Magento, which have shifted over to InnoDB permanently. For instance, importing immense amounts of data will be faster with InnoDB, due to the fact that it locks only a single database row to carry out a specific operation, not the entire table, which makes the engine excellent for scalable apps. It also supports foreign keys and database transactions – these refer to the manner in which the info is handled. Put simply, appending new or editing existent data will either be thoroughly completed, or will be annulled and the procedure will be rolled back in case a certain issue appears during the process, which is why the content that remains in the database will not be damaged.
InnoDB in VPS Web Hosting
When you acquire a virtual private server from our company, you’ll be able to take full advantage of our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel to manage your web content. A Hepsia-equipped VPS will permit you to use any open-source script-powered software app which requires InnoDB, as this particular MySQL database storage engine is an integral part of the software bundle that will be installed on your VPS server during its configuration. When you create a brand new MySQL database through the hosting Control Panel, you simply have to begin installing an app – manually or using our application installer. InnoDB will be set as the default engine in case the application in question requires it, so you won’t have to do anything else in your VPS account. In the same manner, if a given application requires MyISAM, it will be automatically set as the default engine for this concrete database.
InnoDB in Dedicated Servers Hosting
All Linux dedicated servers hosting that are ordered with our custom Hepsia Control Panel include a software package that’s pre-activated and besides everything else, you will get the InnoDB storage engine, so you won’t have to install it manually if you need to run scripts that require it. All it takes to install such a script is to create a new database and to initiate the installation – as soon as the installation wizard receives access to the database and begins entering data into it, InnoDB will be set as the default MySQL engine for this database as long as it is the one needed by the script. You’ll also be able to install scripts that need MyISAM, the other very popular MySQL engine, so you will not need to change any settings on the server. This will permit you to use a variety of scripts on one single server and to use it to its fullest capacity.
