HOW-TO:- Solve Moodle 2.7 on MySql 5.7.x Installation

The reason of doing this is I configured my apache for local virtual hosting rather than localhost (available in the next post). I found the error as mentioned below, and I tried different solution to solve it. I did few of the things to solve, they are as follows:
  1. Removed and installed MySQL server.
  2. Installed mysql 5.7v
  3. Installed Moodle 2.7+ stable version 
  4. configured and deleted Moodle config.php few times.
  5. created and deleted database naming moodle(default created when initialized) and few other names.
  6. Gave permission to php5.6 instead of php7.0.2 in Ubuntu 16.04
Here's the Solution, find below lines(183 - 191) or search for "
SELECT @@storage_engine" 
and then replace it from "SELECT @@default_storage_engine".

=======Code Snippets(183 - 191):  =======
        // get the default database engine
        $sql = " SELECT @@default_storage_engine";
        $this->query_start($sql, NULL, SQL_QUERY_AUX);
        $result = $this->mysqli->query($sql);
        $this->query_end($result);
        if ($rec = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
            $engine = $rec['@@storage_engine'];
        }
        $result->close();
===============================

Now, run your Moodle installation. It's Working..!


// =============Error while Moodle Installation===========//
The situations I encountered were

System

Error reading from database
It is usually not possible to recover from errors triggered during installation, you may need to create a new database or use a different database prefix if you want to retry the installation.
Debug info: Unknown system variable 'storage_engine'
SELECT @@storage_engine

GraphQL vs REST

  GraphQL   GraphQL is an application layer server-side technology which is developed by Facebook for executing queries with existing data. GraphQL can optimize RESTful API calls. It gives a declarative way of fetching and updating your data. GraphQL helps you to load data from server to client. It enables programmers to choose the types of requests they want to make. REST REST is a software architectural style that defines a set of constraints for creating web services. It is designed specifically for working with media components, files, or hardware device. The full form of REST is Representational State Transfer. ========================================================= Here is the important difference between GraphQL and REST.

DBMS ACID Properties

 1. Atomicity states that database modifications must follow an all or nothing rule 2. Consistency states that only valid data will be written to the database. If, for some reason, a transaction is executed that violates the database's consistency rules, the entire transaction will be rolled back and the database will be restored to a state consistent with those rules.  3. Isolation requires that multiple transactions occurring at the same time not impact each other's execution. For example, if Joe issues a transaction against a database at the same time that Mary issues a different transaction, both transactions should operate on the database in an isolated manner. The database should either perform Joe's entire transaction before executing Mary's or vice-versa. 4.  Durability ensures that any transaction committed to the database will not be lost. Durability is ensured through the use of database backups and transaction logs that facilitate the restoration of committe...
