Dear students;
My review on this "beautiful" article: MariaDB is faster than MySQL. Because MariaDB improve overall speed of the server, MariaDB can perform as good as MySQL and both of them are same.
Brief History of MariaDB & What is MariaDB all about
It all started back when Oracle & Sun (when Sun acquired MySQL in 2008) . After Sun purchased it , basically things start to go bit slow – updates were not being related in timely manner , lesser and lesser contribution from the community. At that upon of time , Brain Aker forked MySQL into Drizzle project , a database for the cloud. It never really took off
In 2009 , the creator of MySQL , Monty Widenius left the company and started MariaDB , which is a new fork of MySQL. Its meant to be a replacement for MySQL Server.
The beauty of MariaDB
Since MariaDB is a binary drop in replacement for MySQL. It simply means that MySQL 5.1 <—-> MariaDB 5.1 are interchangeable. Think of it as a brother and sister relationship. It simply means that if you have a MySQL 5.1 server , if you’ve moved over to MariaDB 5.1 , all your stuff are still there. There is no need to reconfigure for MariaDB. On top of that all MySQL connectors , api or what-so-ever are the same – it simply means that your current php script (even this WordPress will run on MariaDB).
Advantages of MariaDB (Features)
- More storage engines (Aria for instance)
- Speed Improvements (just take a look at the link)
- Fully Open Source and Free as in Free Beer !
