InnoDB is the most popular, reliable and functional of the transactional storage engines available for MySQL database users. InnoDB provides transactions, row-level locking, and automatic crash recovery. InnoDB on-disk files play a pivotal role for those features. This presentation describes how on-disk files are structured, how compressed tables are organized, and how long variable-length columns are stored.

As we develop new features, it is inevitable for file format changes. We will explain how the new file format management works in the InnoDB Plugin.

During this session, we will also cover InnoDB source code structure – 31 subdirectories that come with the MySQL source code under storage/innobase.
