6 months agoMeh, time for another fork.
To those people saying switch to MySQL, they miss the point - MySQL and Maria are basically interchangeable, Maria was made to replace MySQL like for like when oracle took over. It was made by the same guy (et al) and he he named both after his daughters.
When Maria is taken over the same thing will happen. I for one hope that it is named for Widenius’ other child, max.

MySQL (/ˌmaɪˌɛsˌkjuːˈɛl/)[5] is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS).[5][6] Its name is a combination of “My”, the name of co-founder Michael Widenius’s daughter My,[7] and “SQL”.
