Isn't it time to use mariadb instead of mysql?
Could you provide some rationalization of MariaDB vs. the main MySQL
releases?
There are a bunch of forks we could consider with varying degrees of
compatibility with MYSQL.
Percona (working on packaging)
MariaDB (available from their own repos)
Drizzle (in universe)
Compatible or not, none of these are really MySQL.
I'd really like to have a good reason before moving to any of these as
our preferred MySQL service. I don't think MySQL is like Hudson.. Oracle
seems to be taking good care of it and (for the time being) nothing has
changed in their approach to community contribution (which has never
been fantastic anyway).
There seems to be at least some interest in other options. As Clint
points out, rational needs to be known in order to make a reasonable
decision. I am not familiar with the details of the other mysql
compatible database options. If we have a UDS session discussing this,
we really need the facts available before the session.
I'd like to request that interested people help complete a feature
matrix on the wiki [0]. Please feel free to add as much information as
possible. In this instance, a Feature can also be a negative thing.
Please add suitable references.
Thanks, your help is appreciated.
