I know a lot of people have asked me about what the best MySQL server is. I've been using Percona 5.1 for quite a while, and love it. However, I made the switch last night to MariaDB 5.5.
So far, it's worked great. I've had no problems whatsoever. It's only been a day, though. I made the switch because of features. MariaDB has the Sphinx full-text storage engine built-in, while I had to compile it separately for Percona. This simplifies my server management. The other reason I finally made the switch is that the Monty Group now provides a CentOS repository for binaries. I did a "SHOW PROCESSLIST" last night, and saw the Progress % column. That alone made it worth it. :) Steve _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list [email protected] http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net
