For transactionless storage and operation, the ultra fast MyISAM storage engine enables you to rapidly deliver high-performance, read-intensive applications.

Overall it provides a fully integrated, low overhead storage engine proven to deliver superior performance in industry benchmark tests. It is also recognized as an extremely reliable, easy to use, and easy to configure database with Full Text Search capabilities.
