MySQL: Should You Use MyISAM?

In this MySQL MyISAM vs InnoDB SQL tutorial video we’ll explain why one of the primary storage engines within MySQL server or MariaDB server – MyISAM – would still be relevant to this day.

This SQL tutorial for beginners will provide you with answers to one of the most frequently asked SQL interview questions – what’s the primary use case of the MySQL server storage engine MyISAM in these days?

InnoDB replaced the MyISAM MySQL server storage engine as the primary MySQL server storage engine more than a decade ago.
However, the MySQL server storage engine MyISAM still has a use case.

That use case is related to COUNT(*) SQL queries. All SQL queries counting the number of rows in a table will be significantly faster on MyISAM than on InnoDB because MyISAM keeps an internal row count inside of itself and InnoDB does not.
