InnoDB is the most similar storage engine for an Oracle developer. Understanding specifics such as the clustered primary key, secondary indexes sizes, page fill factor options and TEXT/BLOB management are important design needs developers need to know. Being able to monitor and analyze the available instrumentation and learn specifics for example auto-inc or gap locking contention, thread concurrency management options and data/log I/O options are also key in mastering InnoDB diagnostics.

② indexing curiosities

secondary indexes point to the clustered index

BLOB, VARCHAR, TEXT can be stored in overflow pages

ERROR HY000: Too big row.
