Description
Aria tables can be made "transactional" by setting the TRANSACTIONAL table option. However, these "transactional" Aria tables do not actually support transactions. Instead, Aria's transaction log makes them crash-safe.
For example, try running the following statements:
CREATE TABLE aria_tab (id int) ENGINE=Aria TRANSACTIONAL=1;
|
BEGIN;
|
INSERT INTO aria_tab VALUES (1);
|
ROLLBACK;
|
SHOW WARNINGS;
|
SELECT * FROM aria_tab;
|
You'll see that the ROLLBACK doesn't work, because the "transactional" Aria table is considered to be a "non-transactional table." See here:
MariaDB [db1]> CREATE TABLE aria_tab (id int) ENGINE=Aria TRANSACTIONAL=1;
|
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
|
|
|
MariaDB [db1]> BEGIN;
|
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
|
|
|
MariaDB [db1]> INSERT INTO aria_tab VALUES (1);
|
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
|
|
|
MariaDB [db1]> ROLLBACK;
|
Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
|
|
|
MariaDB [db1]> SHOW WARNINGS;
|
+---------+------+---------------------------------------------------------------+
|
| Level | Code | Message |
|
+---------+------+---------------------------------------------------------------+
|
| Warning | 1196 | Some non-transactional changed tables couldn't be rolled back |
|
+---------+------+---------------------------------------------------------------+
|
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
|
|
|
MariaDB [db1]> SELECT * FROM aria_tab;
|
+------+
|
| id |
|
+------+
|
| 1 |
|
+------+
|
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
|
This behavior is consistent with what is displayed by SHOW ENGINES, which shows that Aria is not transactional:
MariaDB [db1]> SHOW ENGINES;
|
+--------------------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+
|
| Engine | Support | Comment | Transactions | XA | Savepoints |
|
+--------------------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+
|
...
|
| Aria | YES | Crash-safe tables with MyISAM heritage | NO | NO | NO |
|
...
|
+--------------------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+
|
8 rows in set (0.00 sec)
