Tim it is worth noting that, for the most part, MariaDB 5.5 is going to work 99.9% the same as MySQL 5.5, which is, I believe, what is tested in the gate (since it is just what you get when apt-get installing mysql-server on Ubuntu). I have only heard of a few optimizer quirks in MariaDB that make it any different to vanilla MySQL. I do think that while we've been able to make some assumptions about this compatibility for a while, with MariaDB becoming a proper fork and not just a derivative, we will likely need to start testing both. _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
