理解mysql的儲存引擎
Summary: in this tutorial, you will learn various MySQL table types, or storage engines. It is essential to understand the features of each table type in MySQL so that you can use them effectively to maximize the performance of your databases.
MySQL provides various storage engines for its tables as below:
MyISAM
InnoDB
MERGE
MEMORY (HEAP)
ARCHIVE
CSV
FEDERATED
Each storage engine has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is crucial to understand each storage engine features and choose the most appropriate one for your tables to maximize the performance of the database. In the following sections we will discuss about each storage engine and its features so that you can decide which one to use.
MyISAM
MyISAM extends the former ISAM storage engine. The MyISAM tables are optimized for compression an speed. MyISAM tables are also portable between platforms and OSes.
The size of MyISAM table can be up to 256TB, which is huge. In addition, MyISAM tables can be compressed into read-only tables to save space. At startup, MySQL checks MyISAM tables for corruption and even repair them in case of errors. The MyISAM tables are not transaction-safe.
Before MySQL version 5.5, MyISAM is the default storage engine when you create a table without explicitly specify the storage engine. From version 5.5, MySQL uses InnoDB as the default storage engine.
InnoDB
The InnoDB tables fully support ACID-compliant and transactions. They are also very optimal for performance. InnoDB table supports foreign keys, commit, rollback, roll-and forward operations. The size of the InnoDB table can be up to 64TB.
Like MyISAM, the InnoDB tables are portable between different platforms and OSes. MySQL also checks and repair InnoDB tables, if necessary, at startup.
MERGE
A MERGE table is a virtual table that combines multiple MyISAM tables, which has similar structure, into one table. The MERGE storage engine is also known as the MRG_MyISAM engine. The MERGE table does not have its own indexes; it uses indexes of the component tables instead.
Using MERGE table, you can speed up performance in joining multiple tables. MySQL only allows you to perform , , and operations on the MERGE tables. If you use on a MERGE table, only MERGE specification is removed. The underlying tables will not be affected.
Memory
The memory tables are stored in memory and used hash indexes so that they are faster than MyISAM tables. The lifetime of the data of the memory tables depends on the up time of the database server. The memory storage engine is formerly known as HEAP.
Archive
The archive storage engine allows you to store a large number of records, which for archiving purpose, into a compressed format to save disk space. The archive storage engine compresses a record when it is inserted and decompress it using zlib library as it is read.
The archive tables only allow INSERT and SELECT commands. The archive tables do not support indexes, so reading records requires a full table scanning.
CSV
The CSV storage engine stores data in comma-separated values file format. A CSV table brings a convenient way to migrate data into non-SQL applications such as spreadsheet software.
CSV table does not support NULL data type and read operation requires a full table scan.
FEDERATED
The FEDERATED storage engine allows you to manage data from a remote MySQL server without using cluster or replication technology. The local federated table stores no data. When you query data from a local federated table, the data is pull automatically from the remote federated tables.
Choosing MySQL Table Types
You can download the following checklist to choose the most appropriate storage engine, or table type, based on various criteria.
