This is a release of MariaDB, a branch of MySQL. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MariaDB is a drop-in replacement of MySQL, with more features, less |
|
|
|
bugs and better performance. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MariaDB is brought to you by many of the original developers of MySQL, |
|
|
|
that now work for Monty Program Ab, and by many people in the |
|
|
|
community. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MySQL, which is the base of MariaDB, is brought to you by Sun. |
|
|
|
This is a release of MySQL, a dual-license SQL database server. |
|
|
|
MySQL is brought to you by the MySQL team at Sun Microsystems, Inc. |
