Thanks for your reply. But why do they categorized into InnoDB, MyISAM, etc..

They are not categorized - those are DIFFERENT STORAGE ENGINES that MySQL can use. Same like a VOlkswagen and a Mercedes are different cars - not " cars categorized by mercedes and volkswagen".

You could categorize them as "able to support RDBMS integrity" and "not able to support RDBMS integrity" (MyISAM) and "somewhere in-between" (InnoDB)...
