 +
 +Percona XtraDB is an enhanced version of InnoDB database engine.
 +
 +InnoDB features:
 +
 +  * Default storage engine in MySQL 5.5
 +  * InnoDB recovers from a crash or other unexpected shutdown by replaying its logs
 +  * InnoDB automatically groups together multiple concurrent inserts and flushes them to disk at the same time
 +  * ACID compliant
 +  * Transactional support: data integrity is guaranteed in the entire query process
 +  * InnoDB uses row-level locking, as opposed to table locking in MyISAM. ​ InnoDB can modify multiple rows concurrently,​ where MyISAM can only do one at a time
 +  * Full text search (same as MyISAM)
 +  * Foreign key constraints
 +  * Designed for high performance
 +  * Hot backup: do a full backup while reads/​writes are still happening
 +  * Updates are written to the log first, and then the changes are made to the database
 +
 +XtraDB features:
 +
 +  * Backwards compatible with InnoDB
 +  * Faster performance
 +  * Better scalability
 +  * Better tunability
 +  * More statistics
 +  * Improvements in handing multiple concurrent queries
 +  * NoSQL support (experimental):​ You can access your data with both NoSQL and SQL statements
 +  * Increased shutdown times
 +  * Corrupted tables are disabled, instead of bringing down the database server
 +  * Can export single tables (n/a in InnoDB)
 +  * Buffer is saved during restarts
 +  * Slow query logs in microseconds instead of in seconds
 +  * Improved SHOW INNODB STATUS
 +  * Improved SHOW PROCESSLIST
