InnoDB is a popular storage engine for the MySQL RDBMS. It’s an alternative to the default engine – MyISAM, and it has got plenty of strong sides which have made it the preferred engine for a lot of script-driven web apps, including Joomla™ and Magento, which have switched over to InnoDB for good. For instance, adding large data volumes will be much faster with InnoDB, because it locks only one database row to carry out a specific operation, not the entire database table, which makes the engine ideal for scalable applications. It also supports foreign keys and transactions – these refer to the manner in which the info is tackled. Simply put, importing new or modifying existent data will either be fully completed, or will be canceled and the procedure will be rolled back in case a given issue occurs during the process, hence the content that remains in the database will not be lost.
