Full disclosure, I work as a developer rather than on the sysadmin/devops side.
I've been using MariaDB as a drop in replacement for MySQL server for local development instances for years, and it's been completely fine - I have had zero issues with it, and specifically zero issues resulting from differences between MariaDB and MySQL in particular. - Dave Mayo Senior Digital Library Software Engineer Harvard University > HUIT > LTS ________________________________ From: archivesspace_users_group-boun...@lyralists.lyrasis.org <archivesspace_users_group-boun...@lyralists.lyrasis.org> on behalf of Crawford, David E <davidcrawf...@creighton.edu> Sent: Friday, February 9, 2018 4:50:36 PM To: archivesspace_users_group@lyralists.lyrasis.org Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Questions about MariaDB We have been using MySQL for our ArchivesSpace for several years, but our institution wants to shift us to MariaDB. The university no longer supports MySQL - not just for us, but campus wide. Will ArchivesSpace work with MariaDB? If so, are there any problems or issues I should anticipate with the transfer from MySQL? And are there any problems or issues I should anticipate running ArchivesSpace in the future? I should add that this is not a hostile takeover (i.e., I am not being forced to make a change). The IT folks are being very helpful, so any information that helps them to help our archives will be appreciated. Thanks, Dave David E.
