# 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 parameters.
|
|
|
|
When reading, the engine is only required to output the requested columns, but in some cases the engine can partially process data when responding to the request.
|
|
|
|
For most serious tasks, you should use engines from the `MergeTree` family.
