InnoDB is a relational database storage engine developed by Oracle Corporation and part of MySQL. It provides transaction security, isolation and parallel data processing. InnoDB is the preferred storage engine for most applications because it offers a number of features and options that other storage engines do not. These include atomicity, consistency, isolation and durability (ACID compliance), as well as performance and scalability improvements.
