MySQL Falcon - Getting Started Guide

One of the benefits of working with the MySQL Server is the unique architecture that MySQL offers. The MySQL pluggable storage engine architecture allows a database professional to select a specialized storage engine for a particular application necessity while being completely shielded from the need to manage any specific application coding requirements as they relate to database access. The pluggable storage engine architecture provides a standard set of management and support services that are common among all underlying storage engines. The storage engines themselves are the components of the database server that actually perform actions on the underlying data that is maintained at the physical server level.

For those needing transaction support in their applications, MySQL offers a number of internal and third-party supplied storage engines. Falcon is MySQL’s new cutting-edge transactional engine that is designed to support high-volume user traffic in tandem with very fast and secure transaction management. Falcon supplies data management professionals with all the right features needed to support critical transaction-based systems that manage key needs in their business.
