数据库存储引擎是数据库底层软件组织,数据库管理系统(DBMS)使用数据引擎进行创建、查询、更新和删除数据,使用引擎来进行CRUD。
不同的存储引擎提供不同的存储机制、索引技巧、锁定水平等功能,使用不同的存储引擎,还可以 获得特定的功能。
查看mysql的所有引擎:
mysql> SHOW ENGINES; +--------------------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+ | Engine | Support | Comment | Transactions | XA | Savepoints | +--------------------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+ | InnoDB | DEFAULT | Supports transactions, row-level locking, and foreign keys | YES | YES | YES | | MRG_MYISAM | YES | Collection of identical MyISAM tables | NO | NO | NO | | MEMORY | YES | Hash based, stored in memory, useful for temporary tables | NO | NO | NO | | BLACKHOLE | YES | /dev/null storage engine (anything you write to it disappears) | NO | NO | NO | | MyISAM | YES | MyISAM storage engine | NO | NO | NO | | CSV | YES | CSV storage engine | NO | NO | NO | | ARCHIVE | YES | Archive storage engine | NO | NO | NO | | PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA | YES | Performance Schema | NO | NO | NO | | FEDERATED | NO | Federated MySQL storage engine | NULL | NULL | NULL | +--------------------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+ 9 rows in set (0.00 sec)
InnoDB是事务型数据库的首选引擎,支持事务安全表(ACID),支持行锁定和外键。
