What is InnoDB - Why InnoDB use - ACID properties

InnoDB

innodb is a storage engine database management system (DBMS) MySQL and MariaDB

InnoDB release on MySQL 5.5.5 in 2010

its provide ACID-compliant transaction features

what is InnoDB in MySQL

InnoDB has evolved from being a storage subsystem to a general-purpose storage engine for MySQL.              Its combination of high performance and high reliability,              It was made the default storage engine from Version 5.6 onwards.              MySQL can handle large volumes of reads and writes              A DBMS is a tool that allows you to store, index, and retrieve data in a table

ACID:

               Atomicity, consistency, isolation, durability is a set of properties of database transaction  data validity despite errors, power failures  and more in this sequence of database operation that satisfies the ACID 


                in1983 Andreas Reuther German computer science professor and Theo Harder  coined the acronym ACID ,on earlier work by Jim Gary  named atomicity, consistency, durability ,but not isolation. Transaction access data using read and write operation


1.atomicity

2.consistency

3.Isolation

4.Durability


ATOMICITY

  Atomicity is the one of the ACID Transaction properities For example, in an application that transfers funds from one account to another, the atomicity property ensures that, if a debit is made successfully from one account, the corresponding credit is made to the other account

Abort = if a transaction abort, changes made to database but not visible.

commit = if a transaction abort, changes made are visible.


CONSISTENCY

                                      Data is in a consistent state when a transaction starts and when it ends. This means that integrity constraints must be maintained so that the database is consistent before and after the transaction  a database tracking a checking account may only allow unique check numbers to exist for each transaction

                Auto commit setting
                COMMIT statement
                ROLLBACK statement

ISOLATION

                  The isolation aspect of the ACID model mainly involves InnoDB transaction. The intermediate state of a transaction is invisible to other transactions.

for example   A teller looking up a balance must be isolated from a concurrent transaction involving a withdrawal from the same account. Only when the withdrawal transaction commits successfully and the teller looks at the balance again will the new balance be reported.


 
DURABILITY
                                
                                 A system crash or any other failure must not be allowed to lose the results of a transaction or the contents of the database. Durability is often achieved through separate transaction logs that can "re-create" all transactions from some picked point in time (like a backup).

Why InnoDB use 

                            Each InnoDB table arranges the data on the disk in order to optimize    queries with a primary key.
                            InnoDB make access a little slower but also much secure
                            Data selection is fast but inserting updating take longer
                            InnoDB is best suited large database
                            If some of the data is deleted, InnoDB will automatically delete all of the referenced data too.
                            The InnoDB table structure is saved in FRM files, user data, and indexes in a tablespace that is linked to the database.
        


Advantage of InnoDB

                          1. Its DML operation follow the ACID model and transaction have commit, rollback, crash-recovery features to protect user data
                       2. Faster in write (update, inserts)
                       3. you can compress tables and associated indexes.
                       4. InnoDB has been designed for CPU efficiency and maximum performance when processing large data volume.
                      5. You can monitor the performance detail of storage engine by querying performance Schema table.
                      6. You can monitor the internal working  of storage engine by querying 
Information Schema table.

Disadvantages of InnoDB

                        1. innoDB access little slow
                        2. Because InnoDB has to take care of the different relationships between tables, database administrator and scheme creators have to take more time in designing the data models which are more complex than those of MyISAM.
