SQL Interview Q&A: The MyISAM Storage Engine

In this sql interview questions and answers video we'll walk you through when you should use the myisam storage engine.

The main difference between myisam vs innodb is that the myisam storage engine stores the internal row count inside of itself, while innodb does not - MyISAM as a storage engine isn't ACID-compliant while InnoDB is.

These days, the primary use case of the MyISAM storage engine would be when running COUNT(*) SQL queries. Don't expect stability though - the MyISAM storage engine is prone to crashes. For that, use an ACID-compliant MySQL storage engine (InnoDB or Percona XtraDB) instead. MySQL storage engine related questions are one of the main questions in any sql interview, so make sure to brush up on these sql interview questions and answers before going into your next sql interview, and until next time.
