Topic: Why ENGINE=MyISAM + ENGINE=InnoDB

In the setup of the DB tables I see that 2 different engines are installed.
Why ENGINE=MyISAM + ENGINE=InnoDB instead of only 1 of the 2?

Does someone knows this and can explain it to me.

change to InnoDB if you need to perform transactions. Itronics has indicated that change to this storage method has no negative implications.

I believe InnoDB supports "transactions", not money, but a type of db action that does not commit unless the full action is completed

Making all as ENGINE=InnoDB is okay as far as FA v2.3.x is concerned - it just won't use the Foreign Key CASCADE ON INSERT/DELETE/UPDATE feature..
