MySQL

Tiki can use MySQL in two ways:

• As a database. This is where your data is stored. The default storage engine is InnoDB. The other database choice is MariaDB
• As a search index. This is a temporary copy of some of your data, optimized for quick retrieval. The storage engine here is MyISAM. The index options are explained here: Unified Index Comparison
