Table engines
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
The table engine (type of table) determines:
|
|
- How and where data is stored - where to write it to, and where to read it from.
|
|
- Which queries are supported, and how.
|
|
- Concurrent data access.
|
|
- Use of indexes, if present.
|
|
- Whether multithreaded request execution is possible.
|
|
- Data replication.
|
|
- When reading data, the engine is only required to extract the necessary set of columns. However, in some cases, the query may be partially processed inside the table engine.
|
|
|
|
Note that for most serious tasks, you should use engines from the MergeTree family.
