MySQL SHOW ENGINES

The Support column can have values like:

  • YES
  • NO
  • DISABLED
  • DEFAULT

The value in the Support column is YES or NO, to indicate that the storage engine is or is not available.
DISABLED if the engine is present but turned off, or DEFAULT for the storage engine that the server
uses by default. The InnoDB storage engine is the default engine in the above example.
