For example, non-transaction-safe engines, such as MyISAM in MySQL, usually provide higher reading speed than transaction-safe engines, and can be a better choice if your tables don’t get updates simultaneously with reads. Database Storage Engines and ReplicationReplication is a process of automated synchronization of two databases that allows distributing database load and optimizing the way application reads, writes and processes information. The beauty of this technology is that it doesn’t expect Master database (the one acting as a source of data) and Slave database (the one synchronized) to share identical storage engines. In a Master-to-Slave replication configuration it is recommended to assign each database its own role, and have one optimized for storing and processing data, and the other for retrieval. To learn the recommendations for MySQL database, please see MySQL Replication. Free Download Version 8.4.6, built on April 25, 2023 See also: | Contact UsTerm of the Day
