I've been using Percona for a number of years now. Are there any solid comparisons between Percona and MariaDB?

- spudlyo 14y agoMariaDB ships with XtraDB, Percona's modified InnoDB engine. If you're planning on using InnoDB (which just about everyone is) the differences are pretty minor. The big difference is that MariaDB comes with the Aria storage engine, which is a crash safe alternative to MyISAM. http://kb.askmonty.org/en/about-xtradb/ http://kb.askmonty.org/en/about-xtradb/ http://kb.askmonty.org/en/aria-faq/ http://kb.askmonty.org/en/aria-faq/
- viraptor 14y agoIf you're using mainly InnoDB and want more reliability / performance / less variance in execution time - go for Percona, that's what they're specialising in. Also you can use the company for support when needed.
- army 14y agoI don't think Percona sees itself as a fork: it is just MySQL + special Percona patches.
