Make information_schema table that shows which Aria tables are encrypted

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      You can query information_schema.INNODB_TABLESPACES_ENCRYPTION to determine which InnoDB tables are encrypted:

      https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/innodb-encryption-overview/#finding-encrypted-tables

      https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/information-schema-innodb_tablespaces_encryption-table/

      Aria tables can also be encrypted if aria_encrypt_tables is enabled:

      https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/aria-system-variables/#aria_encrypt_tables

      However, there does not seem to be any information_schema table that shows which Aria tables are encrypted. Wouldn't it make sense to make this information available?

      Currently, you have to use the very user-unfriendly method shown here:
