Mysql supports different storage engines , out of which the most prominently used one are innodb and Myisam , both of them has there on advantage and disadvantage .

MyISAM is suitable for small project.

InnoDB  does not support FULLTEXT index while MyISAM supports , which make the search fast

InnoDB is better option while you are dealing with larger database because it supports transactions, volume .

InnoDB supports row-level locking which means inserting and updating is much faster as compared with MyISAM.
