InnoDB is a storage engine for MySQL databases, which is used by widely used PHP-driven web applications like Magento and Joomla™ v3. It’s ideal for scalable applications, because it performs exceptionally well when processing large data volumes. Rather than locking the whole database table to import new information into a database as many other engines do, InnoDB locks only one database row, so it can complete a lot more operations for the same length of time. In addition, InnoDB offers a faster database crash recovery and supports database transactions and foreign key constraints – rules that specify how data imports and updates should be treated. In case a particular task has not been thoroughly completed for any reason, the action will be rolled back. In this way, the database content will be kept safe and sound and won’t be partially mixed with newly appended content.

All it takes to run such a script is to set up a new database and to initiate the setup process – as soon as the setup wizard gains access to the database and begins entering data into it, InnoDB will be set as the default engine for this database on the condition that it is the one required by the particular script. You will also be able to install scripts that require the other popular MySQL engine – MyISAM, so you won’t need to edit any settings on the dedicated server. This will permit you to run a variety of scripts on one single physical server and to use it to its full capabilities.
