This ensures that when a transaction is committed, data is not lost in the event of crash or power loss. MySQL’s InnoDB storage engine uses a fixed size (circular) Redo log space. The size is controlled by innodb_log_file_size and innodb_log_files_in_group (default 2). You multiply those ... Read More
