InnoDB is a very popular database storage engine for the MySQL DBMS. It’s an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has a number of strong sides which make it the preferred engine for a lot of open-source script-powered applications, such as Magento and Joomla™, which have shifted over to InnoDB for good. For instance, importing large data volumes will be faster with InnoDB, due to the fact that it locks only one row to carry out a given operation, not the entire table, which makes the engine excellent for scalable applications. InnoDB also supports foreign keys and transactions – these refer to the way in which the info is handled. Put simply, adding new or editing existing data will either be entirely completed, or will be canceled and the operation will be rolled back in case some issue shows up in the meantime, which is why the content that remains in the database will not be damaged.
