MariaDB is a database server that offers drop-in replacement functionality for
|
|
MySQL1. 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.
