MariaDB Overview

What is MariaDB?

MariaDB frees companies from the costs, constraints and complexity of proprietary databases, enabling them to reinvest in what matters most – rapidly developing innovative, customer-facing applications. MariaDB uses pluggable, purpose-built storage engines to support workloads that previously required a variety of specialized databases. With complexity and constraints eliminated, enterprises can now depend on a single complete database for all their needs, whether on commodity hardware or their cloud of choice. Deployed in minutes for transactional or analytical use cases, MariaDB delivers unmatched operational agility without sacrificing key enterprise features including real ACID compliance and full SQL. Trusted by organizations such as Deutsche Bank, DBS Bank, Nasdaq, Red Hat, ServiceNow, Verizon and Walgreens – MariaDB meets the same core requirements as proprietary databases at a fraction of the cost. No wonder it’s the fastest growing open source database. Real business relies on MariaDB™.

Great open source DB with plenty of documentation. We use MariaDB exclusively for all our web projects.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MariaDB?

There isn't much although if I had to say one thing it would for a better GUI interface to view/edit/delete data. MySQLAdmin could use an interface update, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The commitment to open source model and th continued development of innovative features and integrations. The Galera synchronous cluster and Node.js MariaDB Connector are two recent ones that come to mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you have a need of MySQL compatible DB server, I would highly recommend using MariaDB for stability as well as range of features and integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MariaDB?

Since MariaDB is a fork of MySQL, the database structure and indexes of MariaDB are the same as MySQL. This allows you to switch from MySQL to MariaDB without having to alter your applications since the data and data structures will not need to change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MariaDB?

To make sure MariaDB maintains drop-in compatibility, the MariaDB developers do a monthly merge of the MariaDB code with the MySQL code. Even with this, there are some differences between MariaDB and MySQL that could cause some minor compatibility issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MariaDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used MariaDB for my OpenStack deployment. I scheduled inventory backups, via a scheduler (i.e cron) to run the appropriate commands to perform regular snapshots of my data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MariaDB?

I have been using maradb for over 5 years it hosts various websites and mail servers that I run. I really like how reliable it is. It is also very easy to use. I have used a lot of databases and i feel that this one is by far the most reliable. Install it setup your schema and away it goes! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MariaDB?

There really isn't much to not like, but if i had to be picky it would be connecting it to a mail server. If you are a newbie then you will really need to read into how to use the DB, although once you have done this once you won't forget it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MariaDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

By putting a database like this into your environment you will soon realise just how reliable and solid this is Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about MariaDB?

The best thing we talk about MariaDb is it has many several optimization techniques that tend to improve the performance, as it has better query performance.

It allows the parallel execution of commands resulting in multi processing and fast execution of the program.

It has an additional feature of thread pooling, a useful concept for the API.

MariaDb is compatible with almost every different platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MariaDB?

The errors mesaages displayed in MariaDb are usually not very cleared.

So if bit description can be added than it will be more useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MariaDB:

Work bit on adding more detail to the errors dispayed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MariaDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

MariaDb has several powerful storage engines. Mariadb is very much compatible with the MySQL version which completely opens up the possibility for us to switch to Mariadb seemlessly without any change required in the source code ,like when there are performance issues with another relational database we can switch to MariaDb. An intersing features that mariadb supports is virtual columns, and with this virtusl columns we are capable of performing the calculations at the database level.

What do you like best about MariaDB?

I like that MariaDB is maintained by a community-based foundation as opposed to being owned by a larger corporation, especially one that maintains another major relational database system, Oracle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MariaDB?

Lacks some of the more "fancy" features of other, more established relational databases like MSSQL and Oracle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Watch to ensure that MariaDB doesn't fall too far behind MySQL, or at least "holds its own" in terms of its divergence from the original fork from MySQL Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MariaDB scales well and plugs into our PHP web application seamlessly, meets our needs and is easy to understand and administer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
