The “new” name never really stick…

  Was MariaDB ever called MariaSQL? When?

    I referred to MySQL vs MariaDB
    • CRConrad 3y ago
      Then you were even more wrong. MariaDB wasn't just "a new name" for MySQL.

    It was my mistake, I misremembered MariaDB, but can't edit my comment now. In my defense, I've barely thought of it since 2009, when it was forked. On the other hand, I've worked with MySQL a few times in the same period, mostly because Oracle, whatever its failings, has kept MySQL alive. Not thriving, but alive. I'm so glad they didn't buy PostgreSQL.

      It is an easy mistake to make :) - it seems like ages ago when MySQL was sort of state of the art. I was there too when Oracle took over and everbody knew what was going to happen. Happy also that pgsql was not a victim and is still alive!
