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.
