### 15.1.3 Verifying that InnoDB is the Default Storage Engine

 Issue the [`SHOW ENGINES`](show-engines.html) statement to view the available MySQL storage engines. Look for `DEFAULT` in the `SUPPORT` column.

```
mysql> SHOW ENGINES;
```

 Alternatively, query the [`INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ENGINES`](information-schema-engines-table.html) table.

```
mysql> SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ENGINES;
```
