Are there any interoperability issues between MySQL and MariaDB, or are the two basically clones of each other?
It is my understanding that it is a "fork" of MySQL that was done because people are untrusting of what Oracle might do (or not do) with MySQL.
To my knowledge, MySQL 5.5 and MariaDB 5.5 are binary compatible and there shouldn't be any differences in them. After that you have MySQL 5.6 and MariaDB 10.0 and that is where things start to diverge slightly. From my understanding, everything that works in MySQL 5.6 should work in MariaDB 10.0, but not necessarily the other way around.
