16.1 Setting the Storage Engine

When you create a new table, you can specify which storage engine to use by adding an ENGINE table option to the CREATE TABLE statement:

  1. -- ENGINE=INNODB not needed unless you have set a different
  2. -- default storage engine.
  3. -- Simple table definitions can be switched from one to another.
  4. CREATE TABLE t2 (i INT) ENGINE = CSV;
  5. CREATE TABLE t3 (i INT) ENGINE = MEMORY;

When you omit the ENGINE option, the default storage engine is used. The default engine is InnoDB in MySQL 8.0. You can specify the default engine by using the --default-storage-engine server startup option, or by setting the default-storage-engine option in the my.cnf configuration file.

You can set the default storage engine for the current session by setting the default_storage_engine variable:

  1. SET default_storage_engine=NDBCLUSTER;

The storage engine for TEMPORARY tables created with CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE can be set separately from the engine for permanent tables by setting the default_tmp_storage_engine, either at startup or at runtime.

To convert a table from one storage engine to another, use an ALTER TABLE statement that indicates the new engine:

See Section 13.1.20, “CREATE TABLE Syntax”, and Section 13.1.9, “ALTER TABLE Syntax”.

If you try to use a storage engine that is not compiled in or that is compiled in but deactivated, MySQL instead creates a table using the default storage engine. For example, in a replication setup, perhaps your master server uses InnoDB tables for maximum safety, but the slave servers use other storage engines for speed at the expense of durability or concurrency.

By default, a warning is generated whenever CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE cannot use the default storage engine. To prevent confusing, unintended behavior if the desired engine is unavailable, enable the NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION SQL mode. If the desired engine is unavailable, this setting produces an error instead of a warning, and the table is not created or altered. See Section 5.1.11, “Server SQL Modes”.

MySQL may store a table's index and data in one or more other files, depending on the storage engine. Table and column definitions are stored in the MySQL data dictionary. Individual storage engines create any additional files required for the tables that they manage. If a table name contains special characters, the names for the table files contain encoded versions of those characters as described in Section 9.2.3, “Mapping of Identifiers to File Names”.
