MariaDB - Anyone converted yet?

[W4GPL]

Specifically on EL6 (Centos/Scientific Linux 6)..

For those who don't know about MariaDB, it's a drop in replacement fork for MySQL from the original authors of MySQL. Their primary goal is to keep everything open source, as where Oracle is changing the licensing for the storage engines used by MySQL.

SQL makes my head hurt.

Not yet. We're slated for sometime over the next year to migrate. Maybe.

It's been a long time, but figuring out how to create SQL queries was a lot of fun, and fairly straightforward.

But I cut my teeth on early relational databases (especially RBase products) way back when.

I did my personal server that hosts my blog, it was pretty seamless. Their RPM postrun scripts leaves a bit to be desired, but after a little clean up, it was truly /drop in/.. I'm nervous about doing it for larger sites.

Not yet, but I'm sure I will have to at some point since pretty much everything I code uses MySQL. Gotta love Oracle's strategy. Get millions of people on board with their opensource, let thousands of people help develop it for free, then change the licensing. Would they like a blowjob with that reach-around? Correct me if I'm wrong on all this, but that's how I'm seeing it.

I wouldn't have put it QUITE that way... but you're not wrong.

I am still using PostgreSQL for my little projects. It used to be way ahead of MySQL, but MySQL has come a long way over the past decade.
