<bridgehead renderas="sect4">The Sophia alternative storage engine</bridgehead>
There are actually two storage engines for Tarantool: memtx (the in-memory storage engine)
and Sophia (the on-disk storage engine). To specify that the engine should be Sophia,
add a clause: <code>engine = 'sophia'</code>. The manual concentrates on memtxt because it is
the default and has been around longer. But Sophia is a working key-value engine and will especially
appeal to users who like to see data go directly to disk, so that recovery time might be
shorter and database size might be larger. On the other hand, with Sophia the maximum
number of indexes is 1, and the maximum number of fields per index is 1.
For architectural explanations and benchmarks, see sphia.org.
