Mostly because of Oracle. They already have a high performance database that they charge a whole lot of money for. All it'll take is a couple of poor earnings reports and they might swing the axe at MySQL as an easy scapegoat.
Not something I'd like to risk my own company's database on.
- wuliwong 12y agoWhat about Postgres? I'm not a database expert, just wondering. Is MariaDB more of a one-to-one replacement for MySQL?
- rat87 12y agoconsidering its a for of MySQL I'd say yes.
- blueskin_ 12y agoMariaDB is a drop in replacement, as is Percona. PostgreSQL is a completely different database system, and is definitely preferable if starting from scratch, but migrating from MySQL to it can be a pain.
- chc 12y agoYes. Maria is a fork of MySQL, while PostgreSQL is an unrelated product aside from using a dialect of SQL.
