mysql> select version();
+-----------+
| version() |

| 5.6.12    |
+-----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

源码方式安装的Mysql5.6中默认支持如下几种存储引擎，其中InnoDB是默认的存储引擎。
mysql> show engines;
+--------------------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+
| Engine             | Support | Comment                                                        | Transactions | XA   | Savepoints |
+--------------------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+
| MEMORY             | YES     | Hash based, stored in memory, useful for temporary tables      | NO           | NO   | NO         |
| CSV                | YES     | CSV storage engine                                             | NO           | NO   | NO         |
| MyISAM             | YES     | MyISAM storage engine                                          | NO           | NO   | NO         |
| BLACKHOLE          | YES     | /dev/null storage engine (anything you write to it disappears) | NO           | NO   | NO         |
| MRG_MYISAM         | YES     | Collection of identical MyISAM tables                          | NO           | NO   | NO         |
| FEDERATED          | NO      | Federated MySQL storage engine                                 | NULL         | NULL | NULL       |
| ARCHIVE            | YES     | Archive storage engine                                         | NO           | NO   | NO         |
| InnoDB             | DEFAULT | Supports transactions, row-level locking, and foreign keys     | YES          | YES  | YES        |
| PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA | YES     | Performance Schema                                             | NO           | NO   | NO         |
+--------------------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+

有些存储引擎暂时用不到，在编译的时候可以忽略掉。但那些存储引擎是必不可少的呢？
我们看到如下5种存储引擎是mysql自带的schema中使用到的。即便是在编译时指定忽略了某种存储引擎如：
-DWITHOUT_CSV_STORAGE_ENGINE=1 在安装后用show engines还是可以看到mysql支持CSV存储引擎。

mysql> select distinct  TABLE_SCHEMA ,engine   from information_schema.`TABLES`;
+--------------------+--------------------+
| TABLE_SCHEMA       | engine             |
+--------------------+--------------------+
| information_schema | MEMORY             |
| information_schema | MyISAM             |
| mysql              | MyISAM             |
| mysql              | CSV                |
| mysql              | InnoDB             |
| performance_schema | PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA |
+--------------------+--------------------+

因为在mysql这个schema中general_log, slow_log默认使用的是CSV存储引擎。
mysql> SELECT  TABLE_SCHEMA ,TABLE_NAME ,ENGINE FROM information_schema.`TABLES` WHERE ENGINE='CSV';
+--------------+-------------+--------+
| TABLE_SCHEMA | TABLE_NAME  | ENGINE |
+--------------+-------------+--------+
| mysql        | general_log | CSV    |
| mysql        | slow_log    | CSV    |
+--------------+-------------+--------+
2 rows in set (0.01 sec)

mysql> show engines;
+--------------------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+
| Engine             | Support | Comment                                                    | Transactions | XA   | Savepoints |
+--------------------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+
| CSV                | YES     | CSV storage engine                                         | NO           | NO   | NO         |
| InnoDB             | DEFAULT | Supports transactions, row-level locking, and foreign keys | YES          | YES  | YES        |
| MRG_MYISAM         | YES     | Collection of identical MyISAM tables                      | NO           | NO   | NO         |
| PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA | YES     | Performance Schema                                         | NO           | NO   | NO         |
| MyISAM             | YES     | MyISAM storage engine                                      | NO           | NO   | NO         |
| MEMORY             | YES     | Hash based, stored in memory, useful for temporary tables  | NO           | NO   | NO         |
