going to become irritated with Oracle and switch to something other than
MySQL. Are any of you currently using MariaDB instead? How does it compare,
how would you rate it, any gotchas? What are your thoughts?


Currently using Percona InnoDB. Not using extra features, just better
scalability and configurability. Also taking advantage of XtraBackup, but
that can be done with Oracle MySQL.

BTW, Nathan, there's a typo in your Reply-To. You've got '.og' rather than
'.org'.

ciao,

Or they will be supported by the percona forks of mysql. Which is a
far better way to go far large enterprises. Small shops probably could
be happy in mysql 5.0 for another 5 years. (you would not belive how
many are still running 4)

 I personally don't have any interest in switching to PostGreSQL or anything
 else, but MariaDB is very interesting. I guess there are a couple of MySQL
 forks as well, and I'd like information about those also, but primarily
 MariaDB...
