- knd775 12y agoOriginal creators left and created MariaDB. MariaDB is now used in place of MySQL in most Linux distros by default. They left after Oracle got control over it by buying Sun (who had previously bought MySQL.)
- Xorlev 12y agoFor me it was the closed-source new test cases. That marked a turning point for the direction of MySQL (IMO).

- privong 12y agoThe short version is that MySQL was acquired by Oracle (when Oracle purchased Sun Microsystems). Following concerns about it remaining open source, MySQL was forked by it original creator, and is developed as MariaDB[0].

- peapicker 12y agoPersonally, I always though that the community over-reacted big time. After all, the core DB engine most people were using for MySQL for years (InnoDB) had been owned by Oracle for years before that. MariaDB has done some decent stuff, tho.
