thank you all...Got the thread you guys were talking about and this generated an interest in mariadb.

Am installing it now.

Hope to have the same support as mysql...From the community!!!

Btw, MariaDB 5.3 is supposed to use XtraDB in place of InnoDB which I understand is supposed to be faster.

I recall someone saying that MariaDB should be a drop in replacement for MySQL. Try use it and see if there are any issues.

And if you continue using it, post feedback on this list

Hi,
i was using zypper to install mysql when i saw the package mariadb being installed instead of mysql.

Googling about mariadb i saw it's a replacement of mysql because of the free and open source licensing.

Anyone know if the EVIL oracle has cancelled mysql as open source already???


Does Mariadb interact with phpmyadmin?

Am sorry...but am too "inactive" at this hour to google myself.


cheers!!
