14.1.5 Turning Off InnoDB

Oracle recommends InnoDB as the preferred storage engine for typical database applications, from single-user wikis and blogs running on a local system, to high-end applications pushing the limits of performance. In MySQL 5.7, InnoDB is the default storage engine for new tables.

Important

InnoDB cannot be disabled. The --skip-innodb option is deprecated and has no effect, and its use results in a warning. Expect it to be removed in a future MySQL release. This also applies to its synonyms (--innodb=OFF, --disable-innodb, and so forth).
