To create a table with InnoDB engine, we can use the ENGINE command. Here is the query to create a table.
mysql> create table EmployeeRecords - > ( - > EmpId int, - > EmpName varchar(100), - > EmpAge int, - > EmpSalary float - > )ENGINE=INNODB; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.46 sec)
We have set the ENGINE as INNODB above.
Check the full description about the table using the DESC command.
mysql> DESC EmployeeRecords;
The following is the output.
+-----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +-----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | EmpId | int(11) | YES | | NULL | | | EmpName | varchar(100) | YES | | NULL | | | EmpAge | int(11) | YES | | NULL | | | EmpSalary | float | YES | | NULL | | +-----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 4 rows in set (0.05 sec)
To check if the table is created with InnoDB.
mysql> SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM business LIKE 'EmployeeRecords';
Here is the output −
+-----------------+--------+---------+------------+------+----------------+-------------+-----------------+--------------+-----------+----------------+---------------------+-------------+------------+--------------------+----------+----------------+---------+ | Name | Engine | Version | Row_format | Rows | Avg_row_length | Data_length | Max_data_length | Index_length | Data_free | Auto_increment | Create_time | Update_time | Check_time | Collation | Checksum | Create_options | Comment | +-----------------+--------+---------+------------+------+----------------+-------------+-----------------+--------------+-----------+----------------+---------------------+-------------+------------+--------------------+----------+----------------+---------+ | employeerecords | InnoDB | 10 | Dynamic | 0 | 0 | 16384 | 0 | 0 | 0 | NULL | 2018-10-22 15:22:01 | NULL | NULL | utf8mb4_unicode_ci | NULL | | | +-----------------+--------+---------+------------+------+----------------+-------------+-----------------+--------------+-----------+----------------+---------------------+-------------+------------+--------------------+----------+----------------+---------+ 1 row in set (0.10 sec)
In the above output, the “Engine” is visible as “InnoDB”.
