Storage Engine Providers
MySQL Enterprise employs a Pluggable Storage Engine Architecture that provides users with the flexibility to choose from a portfolio of purpose-built storage engines that are optimized for specific application domains - OLTP, Read-Intensive Web Scale-out, High-Availability Clustering, Data Archiving, Data Warehousing, and more. Sun, the MySQL Community, MySQL partners, and MySQL Customers are using the Pluggable Storage Engine Architecture to create new storage engines, every day.
The realm of possible purpose-built storage engines is endless. However, the need to demonstrate that a storage engine has been tested against and is compatible with the MySQL Enterprise Server is shared. To meet this need, Sun has established a multi-tiered certification program to ensure that these storage engines have the highest levels of integration, usability, and performance.
