MariaDB

MariaDB Review

Opmerkingen: My overall experience with MariaDB has been very favorable. I like the clustering features a lot, and it's built in already, which is awesome since it saves me time. I like that I can export my entire database in to MariaDB, be it a little hard to figure out at first but once you get the hang of it you will do better with it the next time round.

Pluspunten:

What I like most about MariaDB is that if you know how to use MySQL then you will definitely know how to use MariaDB! With some added functionality and features it is much faster and it is pretty stable to use. The database is free to use, but lightweight in comparison to my sequel so it's perfect for starter to medium sized projects.

Minpunten:

What I like least about MariaDB is that you will definitely need some guidance at first if you are not already familiar with this kind of software, especially when it comes to things like creating a new cluster. If you do run into a snag though the MariaDB community is very helpful and usually answer quick if you need a few pointers. There are also tons of forums and help guides you can refer to if need be.

MariaDB as a drop in replacement for MySQL just works

Opmerkingen: We use it to store all of our data.

Pluspunten:

It is so much faster than MySQL, especially when we alter the table structure of large tables it just works so much faster. The built in clustering features work quite well as well.

Minpunten:

Starting a cluster is annoying. It's not overly hard, but you have to remember the statements. It would be a lot better if the startup script would say 'cannot attach to cluster, start a new one?' or something similar. Despite the speed, we have had a couple of crashes where we could not startup the server. This has never happened to our MySQL servers, so that was a surprise. It may have been a specific 10.2 version on Ubuntu, because on our 18.04LTS servers this has not happened again. Performance of the cluster when using INSERT IGNORE statements with 100,000s of records that are all duplicates is a lot slower than on MySQL.

A Reliable Alternative to MySQL

Opmerkingen: MariaDB is an excellent open-source database solution that offers robust features, compatibility with popular tools, and a large and active community. While it may require more resources to set up and manage, it is a well-rounded option for businesses of all sizes. The lack of commercial support may be a disadvantage for some users, but the wealth of community resources more than makes up for it. Overall, MariaDB is a great choice for those looking for a reliable and customizable database.

Pluspunten:

MariaDB is an open-source branched MYSQL database. It is easy to use and is compatible with many popular tools and applications. MariaDB is well-documented and has excellent support from the developers and community.

Minpunten:

Some users may find the lack of a commercial support option to be a disadvantage, especially for businesses with strict IT requirements.

MariaDB_01

Pluspunten:

it is a free database management system. it is good to store relational data.

Minpunten:

There are many database that will be good alternative to MariaDB

90% of your needs covered

Pluspunten:

There is little you cannot do with it. Almost any database needs are covered by mariadb (formerly mysql) open source dbms. It is very fast, it provides many functions for data manipulation and if installed in good hardware it can take a huge load.

Minpunten:

There is little to none to be unhappy about mariadb. Maybe we could talk about cluster performance and advanced functions for usage in the cloud, but still it covers 90% of use cases out there.
