- hapless 16y agoThere are several MySQL forks, have been for years. Most notably: Drizzle, MariaDB, Percona MySQL. There are many others. I don't see anyone rushing to abandon mainline MySQL for the forks.
- sabat 16y agoPercona's is probably the closest to the MySQL people are looking for; Percona is the premier MySQL consultancy, and they've patched the codebase for performance, etc.
- runningdogx 16y agoFrom Monty's presentation about MariaDB, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL1l9Puh0sk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL1l9Puh0sk I got the impression that MariaDB is the primary open MySQL fork, with Percona merging their patches and becoming a downstream of MariaDB. Did MariaDB and Percona have a falling out in recent months?
- Nrsolis 16y agoWe could call it MinesSQL.
- Kilimanjaro 16y agonice, perhaps youSQL, uSQL, SqlME, a name is really important for a project to take off.
