MariaDB or MySQL for Relational Database?

I'd go with Maria, but that's just because it's OSS. If I didn't have to go down that route though I'd say PostgreSQL

Hey man , if relational databases are so great why have people been trying to replace them for so long!?!?!?

/s

I thought MariaDB was a rebranding of MySQL.

@rantsauce Yea... I was considering to switch to Maria... But want to know wether it is better...

@N00bPancakes yea.... I prefer nosql like MongoDB... But client still using Relational Database like MySql... So....Yea...

Relational databases are much superior to noSQL

Just use file storage and vNand SSD and call it a day

@johnmelodyme

In all seriousness it depends on use case.

I like relational, but I use others for some cases where things are moving faster / just different.

@theabbie it depending on usage tho....

@petergriffin with JSON or Yaml or XML?

@johnmelodyme Anything in NoSQL can be efficiently implemented in Relational database, the reverse is not true though.

@N00bPancakes I agree.... But I was thinking moving from MySql to MariaDB, will this be good ?

@theabbie sure.... But for the case like IOT , Relational Database is too complex while in NoSql just easily implemented tho. (Based on my experience)

@johnmelodyme If NoSQL suits your case, go for it, it's also cheaper, I guess.

@theabbie I recommend to my client but they wanted relational. So I am thinking anything other than MySql as it sucks from time to time .... (It just crash sometimes in OpenSuse, idk why)

@johnmelodyme PostgreSQL?

@theabbie I personally I didn't use this before... Sounds like a good suggestion to try...

Physical ledger.

@Cyanide what?

@johnmelodyme Nothing. I was trying to be funny.

@rantsauce If I remember correctly MariaDB is a fork of MySQL

Mariadb is an activity developed fork of MySQL.

MariaDB is "almost" a drop in replacement for MySQL, there is some subtle differences depending on what you are doing and which version you use, but for the most part, you can mysql_dump from 1 to the other.

The real question is, do you need an RDS or does the client think they need an RDS?

@AtuM atlassian sucks.

And they don't support anything.

MariaDB eg uses atlassian on MariaDB. XD

It works well. You just need to invest a bit of time and configuration.

I'd stay away from Oracle / MySQL.

It's just an intransparent hell.

PostgreSQL FTW
