MariaDB Server is one of the most popular open source relational databases. It is made by the original developer of MySQL and is guaranteed to remain open source. It is part of most cloud products and the default configuration for most Linux distributions. MariaDB is designed as a direct replacement for MySQL, with more functions, a new storage engine, fewer errors and better performance.
It is based on the value of performance, stability and openness. The MariaDB Foundation ensures that it will accept contributions based on the technical advantages. Recent new functions include advanced cluster with Galera Cluster 4, compatibility with Oracle database and Temporary Data Tables, allowing people to query data at any time in the past.
