Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted November 18, 2024Nov 18 I was wondering if there's a major difference between MariaDB and InnoDB. I know Maria works in the IP 4 and with the IP 5 coming out there will be requirement to use InnoDB. Is there a specific reason why InnoDB is needed?
November 18, 2024Nov 18 Community Expert You are comparing 2 different things here. MariaDB is an alternative to MySQL. INNODB is the storage engine that is used. INNODB can be used on both MariaDB and MySQL. INNODB is simply the better storage engine. Its even the default for MySQL versions these days.

November 18, 2024Nov 18 Author Ah thank you for the clarification. I’m having my hosting provider to convert it over to InnoDB for the IP 5
November 19, 2024Nov 19 Author Question, when your hosting provider upgrades your database to support InnoDB is there anything that I would have to do to make sure it works or is that something the hosting provider needs to do. My provider upgraded the server to support InnoDB. 10.5.27-MariaDB-cll-lve - MariaDB Server Edited November 19, 2024Nov 19 by coolnet560
