- __david__ 13y agoMariaDB certainly seems like the path of least resistance in this case.
- flyinRyan 13y agoWhich means Monty has screwed everyone again. He should have let MySQL die in Oracle's cradle so the open source world could move over to a better database: PostgreSQL.
- spudlyo 13y agoWordpress doesn't have to do anything, when they people say MariaDB is a drop-in-replacement for MySQL they mean it. On the functionality front, except for details that only gearheads and MySQL DBAs care about you can view them as identical.
