What causes ARIA blocking in MariaDB?

Question

MariaDB

Hello! Does the Aria engine in the MariaDB database lock the entire table on an UPDATE row request, as MyISAM does, or is it more advanced and there are no such problems?

Answer 1

judging by the documentation https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/aria-faq/ in the current version, the entire table is locked, in the next version it is planned to introduce row locking
