Aria Max Table Size

Aria looks to be a safer robust replacement to MyISAM for data warehousing. However, I was unable to find any mention of maximum table sizes for tables in various row formats. Upon creating tables and getting information in SequelPro, I saw the following:

Aria Dynamic: 4GB
Aria Fixed: 20GB
Aria Page: 64GB

This would seem counterproductive as MyISAM supports 256TB. Is there an official statistic on the maximum amount of data that Aria can handle?

Answer

You need to specify MAX_ROWS when you create a table (MyISAM or Aria). With the default value of MAX_ROWS you will not reach storage engine limits on the table size.
