Storage EnginesΒΆ

Drizzle’s micro-kernel has been designed to allow for data to be stored and provided for by different “engines”. Engines differ in many ways, but the three primary types are, temporary only, transactional, and non-transaction.

Drizzle runs by default with a transactional engine for both regular and temporary tables. You can override this behavior by specifying a different engine when creating a table.

Some engines (for example MyISAM) may only support creating temporary tables.
