- Aria (storage engine)

Aria Developer(s) Monty Program Ab Stable release MariaDB 5.2.4 / December 6, 2010 Type Database engine License GNU General Public License Website kb.askmonty.org/v/aria Aria is a storage engine for the MySQL relational database management system. Its goal is to make a crash-safe alternative to MyISAM. It is not yet transactional but plans to add proper support for database transactions at some point in the future. The long-term goal is for Aria to be the default transactional and non-transactional storage engine for MySQL. It has been in development since 2007 and was first announced by Michael "Monty" Widenius on his blog.[1] Aria is the default storage engine of MariaDB, a community-developed branch of the MySQL database led by Widenius.
The Maria project is hosted on Launchpad.
Aria was initially named 'Maria', as a reference to Monty's youngest child.[2] It was renamed Aria in 2010 to avoid confusion with the main database it is developed for.[3]
