If you must use MySQL, at least switch to MariaDB. Those Oracle folks can not be trusted anymore, not even with a toaster.

- fatbird 14y agoBut you can trust the fork started by the guy who sold it to Sun in the first place, then followed it to Oracle, then led the exodus from Oracle to capitalize on anti-Oracle feeling by starting a fork? Riiiiiiiiiight....
- taligent 14y agoThen there is always the Percona or Twitter or millions of other forks around.
- jacques_chester 14y agoPercona Server is good. The ability to monitor is great and the supporting tools are very helpful.
- AaronBBrown 14y agoI agree that the MariaDB and Percona Server versions of MySQL are far superior in many ways, but Oracle, with 5.6 has proved their commitment to MySQL with some awesome new features. I admit there has been a reduction in transparency with the test cases fiasco, but beyond FUD, what is it that they "can't be trusted with?" Are you concerned that they are in there secretly making a bittorrent out of your database or something?
