**DatabaseFeatures.can_introspect_foreign_keys** &
**supports_transactions** checks for MyISAM string.

Aria engine from the MariaDB fork has the same features as MyISAM.

Our tests are failing with Aria & Django 1.11 because it thinks the
database supports transactions.

Ben

Django doesn't officially support MariaDB yet (see

Comment (by Claude Paroz):

FWIW, we desperately need someone adding a MariaDB config to our CI
server...
