MySQL存储引擎简介
存储引擎(Storage Engine)是处理不同类型的表的SQL操作的MySQL部件,也被称为表类型。 MySQL支持多种的存储引擎,比如最新的MySQL 5.6就支持InnoDB、MyISAM、Memory、CSV、 Archive、Blackhole、Merge、Federated、Example等9种存储引擎;不同存储引擎的各自
存储引擎(Storage Engine)是处理不同类型的表的SQL操作的MySQL部件,也被称为表类型。
MySQL支持多种的存储引擎,比如最新的MySQL 5.6就支持InnoDB、MyISAM、Memory、CSV、 Archive、Blackhole、Merge、Federated、Example等9种存储引擎;不同存储引擎的各自功能、性能和适用场景都各不相同。
5.5.5版本之前的MySQL是使用MyISAM作为默认的存储引擎的;而从5.5.5版本开始,MySQL使用InnoDB作为默认的存储引擎。
查看MySQL支持的存储引擎:
使用“show engines;”SQL语句可以查询当前MySQL支持的存储引擎,如下是在RHEL中的MySQL 5.1.61中的信息:
mysql> show engines; +------------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+ | Engine | Support | Comment | Transactions | XA | Savepoints | +------------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+ | MRG_MYISAM | YES | Collection of identical MyISAM tables | NO | NO | NO | | CSV | YES | CSV storage engine | NO | NO | NO | | MyISAM | DEFAULT | Default engine as of MySQL 3.23 with great performance | NO | NO | NO | | InnoDB | YES | Supports transactions, row-level locking, and foreign keys | YES | YES | YES | | MEMORY | YES | Hash based, stored in memory, useful for temporary tables | NO | NO | NO | +------------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
其中Support字段为DEFAULT的引擎是默认的存储引擎。
查看数据库中各个表使用的存储引擎:
mysql> SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM my-db-name;
指定存储引擎(配置):
1. 在mysql配置文件(/etc/my.conf)中指定默认引擎,如用“default-storage-engine=innodb”设置就指定了InnoDB为默认的存储引擎。
2. 在启动mysqld的命令行时添加“–default-storage-engine=innodb”或“–default-table-type=myisam”这样的参数(PS:对于RHEL系统中mysqld服务,可以修改/etc/init.d/mysqld文件中的 $exec 这一行).
3. 创建表时指定存储引擎的类型,如: CREATE TABLE mytable (id int, title char(20)) ENGINE=innodb
4. 改变一个表使用的存储引擎,SQL语句为:ALTER TABLE mytable ENGINE=MyISAM
不同存储引擎的区别:
InnoDB是支持事务的,具有ACID(A: atomicity. C: consistency. I:isolation.D: durability.原子性、一致性、隔离性、持久性)特性;InnoDB也是支持外键(foreign key)的,并且支持细粒度的行级别的锁(row-level locking)。
而MyISAM不支持事务、不支持外键(但其访问速度较快),支持表级别的锁(而不是细粒度的行级别锁)。
Memory存储引擎在较老的MySQL中也叫HEAP,是将所有的数据都存放在内存中的,它具有快速读写的优势,一般存放一些不重要的但需要快速查找的数据(如临时表)。
如下表格来自MySQL官方网站,是一些主流存储引擎的特性比较:
Table 14.1. Storage Engines Feature Summary
Feature | MyISAM | Memory | InnoDB | Archive | NDB |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Storage limits | 256TB | RAM | 64TB | None | 384EB |
Transactions | No | No | Yes | No | Yes |
Locking granularity | Table | Table | Row | Table | Row |
MVCC | No | No | Yes | No | No |
Geospatial data type support | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Geospatial indexing support | Yes | No | No | No | No |
B-tree indexes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No |
T-tree indexes | No | No | No | No | Yes |
Hash indexes | No | Yes | No[a] | No | Yes |
Full-text search indexes | Yes | No | Yes[b] | No | No |
Clustered indexes | No | No | Yes | No | No |
Data caches | No | N/A | Yes | No | Yes |
Index caches | Yes | N/A | Yes | No | Yes |
Compressed data | Yes[c] | No | Yes[d] | Yes | No |
Encrypted data[e] | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Cluster database support | No | No | No | No | Yes |
Replication support[f] | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Foreign key support | No | No | Yes | No | No |
Backup / point-in-time recovery[g] | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Query cache support | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Update statistics for data dictionary | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
[a] InnoDB utilizes hash indexes internally for its Adaptive Hash Index feature.
[b] InnoDB support for FULLTEXT indexes is available in MySQL 5.6.4 and higher.
[c] Compressed MyISAM tables are supported only when using the compressed row format. Tables using the compressed row format with MyISAM are read only.
[d] Compressed InnoDB tables require the InnoDB Barracuda file format.
[e] Implemented in the server (via encryption functions), rather than in the storage engine.
[f] Implemented in the server, rather than in the storage engine.
[g] Implemented in the server, rather than in the storage engine. |
