What is InnoDB in phpMyAdmin?

InnoDB is a more robust and better database table type for modern applications like MODX Revolution compared to the older MyISAM table type.

Which query creates a table on MyISAM storage engine?

CREATE TABLE t (i INT) ENGINE = MYISAM; In MySQL 8.0, it is normally necessary to use ENGINE to specify the MyISAM storage engine because InnoDB is the default engine. You can check or repair MyISAM tables with the mysqlcheck client or myisamchk utility.

Which is better for WordPress, MyISAM or InnoDB?

One of the biggest reasons that large-scale WordPress sites slow down is because their database hasn’t been optimized. A lot of older sites are still using the MyISAM storage engine in their database. Over recent years, InnoDB has shown to perform better and be more reliable.

Why are blobs stored differently in InnoDB and MyISAM?

This is where you artificially split a table to move bulky columns (eg, a BLOB) into another, parallel, table. It is beneficial in MyISAM to avoid stepping over the blob when you don’t need to read it. InnoDB stores BLOB and TEXT differently — 767 bytes are in the record, the rest is in some other block.

Is the MySQL storage engine compatible with InnoDB?

If you are running on a fairly new WordPress site chances are you are already using the InnoDB MySQL storage engine. But with older WordPress sites you might want to do a quick check. Some sites might even have mixed and matched MyISAM and InnoDB tables, in which you could see improvements by converting them all over.
