MariaDB vs MySQL for Wordpress CMS
Hi MacPorts includes both MariaDB and MySQL. For a new web project with WordPress blog (1000 visitors / day) I need to decide between MySQL and MariaDB. I don't need official support. I googled and found old articles (weeks after buyout from Oracle) and biased info from AskMonty KnowledgeBase. What do you think? Did MySQL loose popularity in web projects (after new owner Oracle)? Do you know numbers about installation base? Markus ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users

Do you know numbers about installation base? For your questions I have nothing useful. However, I suggest you choose either mysql55, mariadb or percona rather then the older mysql ports like mysql4, mysql5 and mysql51. If there are other ports you need that have not been updated to use either mysql55, mariadb or percona let me know or file a trac ticket asking for the port to be updated to use mysql55, mariadb or percona.

I've never used MariaDB but if you're used to MySQL, I'd be tempted to stick to MySQL 5.5. MariaDB isn't in the repos for Fedora 17 or Ubuntu 12.10 (didn't bother checking CentOS or Debian: if they ain't in Fedora or Ubuntu, I doubt it's in CentOS or Debian) so it's can't be that prevalent yet so while MariaDB may be the upstream of MySQL nowadays, it'll be a while before the pure volume of help available for it gets anywhere near matching what's on offer freely for MySQL. And besides, if it's a straight drop-in replacement™, you can always cross that bridge when you come to it. Just my two bob. Cheers, Phil... -- But masters, remember that I am an ass.
