Description
MariaDB is a database server that offers drop-in replacement functionality for MySQL. MariaDB is built by some of the original authors of MySQL, with assistance from the broader community of Free and open source software developers. In addition to the core functionality of MySQL, MariaDB offers a rich set of feature enhancements including alternate storage engines, server optimizations, and patches.
MariaDB is primarily driven by developers at Monty Program, a company founded by Michael "Monty" Widenius, the original author of MySQL, but this is not the whole story about MariaDB. On the "About MariaDB" page you will find more information about all participants in the MariaDB community, including storage engines XtraDB and PBXT.
Thank you for your interest in MariaDB. We look forward to providing you with a product and project that suits your needs, be it in a hobby blog deployment or an enterprise-grade datacenter!

Unbreakable MySQL? @ Monty Program Group Blog 3 weeks ago
I’m getting more and more concerned about the current Oracle approach to MySQL security. And the fact that I was solely responsible for the [email protected] for about ten years, doesn’t make it easier, on the contrary, it only emphasizes changes in the attitude. Starting from the obvious — somewhat slower response to critical bug fixes, which can be expected, Oracle is a big company, right? ...

MariaDB 10.0 and MySQL 5.6 @ Monty Program Group Blog 1 month ago
In May of last year I blogged about MariaDB 10.0 for the first time. We received some feedback, digested it, and I further explained MariaDB 10.0. Now, with the first Alpha of MariaDB 10.0 out and a new year just beginning, now is a good time to explain a little bit more, especially about MariaDB 10.0 and MySQL 5.6 as I and others in the MariaDB project get asked a lot about the differences betwee...

MariaDB non-blocking client API and node.js @ Monty Program Group Blog 4 months ago
Last Summer I implemented a non-blocking client API in MariaDB, and it was included in the MariaDB 5.5 release. But somehow I never got around to announcing it. However, that did not prevent Brian White from noticing it, and using it to implement a new mysql binding for node.js called mariasql. Now, node.js is a single-threaded, event-driven framework for web application sever development. In such...

Disappearing test cases or did another part of MySQL just become closed source? @ Monty Program Group Blog 6 months ago
About a week ago I was looking at MySQL 5.5.27, and noticed a curious thing. Despite the fact that the new MySQL release contained its usual share of bug fixes, not a single one of them was accompanied with a test case. Now, let me tell you something about tests. For many years MySQL was using its own testing framework, called mysql-test. The first version was written as early as 1999. Over the ye...
Explanation on MariaDB 10.0 @ Monty Program Group Blog 6 months ago
In end of May I told about the numbering plans for the next version of MariaDB in the blog post What comes in between MariaDB now and MySQL 5.6?. We received quite a lot of feedback and criticism on the idea of calling the next version MariaDB 10.0. Here is a little more information about why it makes sense to call the next version 10.0. This is not news for most of you. MariaDB is not just a set ...
The Query Cache and Partitions @ Monty Program Group Blog 7 months ago
Like others we were not satisfied with the fix for a bug which caused the query cache and partitioning to not work reliably together. The bug, in simple terms, was that if the query cache was enabled and you used partitioned tables and if a partitioned table was using a transactional engine like InnoDB or XtraDB, the query cache could, under certain circumstances, return incorrect results. Returni...

It's as 'simple' as mysql with increased usability, performance, community, and documentation. I love mariadb and will never go back to mysql in prod.
