About MariaDB
MariaDB is a community-developed, open-source relational database project, originally designed as a drop-in replacement for MySQL with additional features, new storage engines, and improved performance. The project is brought to you by the MariaDB Foundation and the MariaDB Corporation.
The team behind MariaDB comprises many of the original developers of MySQL, now working for the MariaDB Corporation and in the community. MySQL, which serves as the base for MariaDB, is a product and trademark of Oracle Corporation.
MariaDB offers various components such as server software, client libraries, and related tools. It strives to provide better compatibility with MySQL while adding new features and enhancing performance. The project's primary focus lies on delivering a robust, stable, and scalable relational database system that meets the evolving needs of modern applications.
MariaDB offers several unique features, including the Aria storage engine for in-memory tables, the TokuDB storage engine for high-performance and scalability, and the XtraDB storage engine for improved transactional performance. The project's commitment to innovation is also reflected in its support for various interfaces like ODBC, JDBC, and the MariaDB Connector/ODBC.
The MariaDB community encourages active participation and offers resources such as mailing lists, documentation, and live Q&A sessions for beginners. Additionally, bug reports and security vulnerabilities should be submitted through dedicated channels on the project's website.
