Thanks for the tip on MariaDB. I will have to check that one
out...:-) How is the support for this version?
Don't know personally as I haven't needed support (and the project
I'm working on right is using PostgreSQL), but...
Support for MariaDB: here's a quote from Asher Feldman, who oversaw
Wikipedia's migration to MariaDB:
"Along the way, a pair of bugs in MariaDB 5.5.28 and 5.5.29 were
identified, one of which was a rare but potentially severe
performance regression related to a new query optimizer feature. The
MariaDB team was very responsive and quick to offer solutions,
complete with test cases."
Support for the MariaDB Foundation: Google has a full-time engineer
working with them, and SkySQL has been funded to the tune of $20
million:

The MariaDB fork of MySQL does not have any licensing fees, and as
it's a drop-in replacement for MySQL, there has been a massive
migration to it over the past couple of years, including large-scale
users such as Wikipedia and Google.
