We’re delighted to share the news that our friends at MariaDB today announced the availability of MariaDB Galera Cluster!
We’ve been talking a good bit about MariaDB in the past few months and it’s great to see the MariaDB & Codership partnership result in today’s announcement.
Today we’re pleased to announce the availability of MariaDB Galera Cluster!
With this release, we’re addressing the numerous requests we’ve received over the past few months for a MariaDB-based Galera Cluster. MariaDB, the more reliable, performant, feature-complete & backwards compatible MySQL database becomes even more attractive by making it available for Galera Cluster.
What is it?

[Read more]The end of September/beginning of October is a most exciting time if you dig MySQL & its diaspora. September 29-30 is MySQL Connect (register – early bird ends September 7) in San Francisco and October 1-2 is Percona Live NYC (register - early bird ends September 1) in New York City. I’m just attending MySQL Connect (thanks Dave for the ticket) and I’m speaking in New York so will take the redeye on Sunday. Four packed days of MySQL/MariaDB/Percona/tools/etc. across two coasts. Who can pass this up?
Who else …
[Read more]As Patrik noted last week, MariaDB is taking a leading role in the trend of keeping the MySQL ecosystem an open one. The SkySQL and MariaDB teams work together closely on this, and we even travel together!
Join both SkySQL and MariaDB at this week’s LinuxCon North America conference in sunny San Diego to learn more about how MariaDB is directly communicating with users (including SkySQL enterprise customers) to not only identify and help fix issues with current releases of the MySQL database, but to also further enhance MariaDB to become even more technologically advanced.

I'm using a very small MariaDB instance as a datastore for my
YouLess energy
monitor, my own mail server (postfix, roundcube). It's a
virtual machine from a commercial VPS provider.
All data fits in memory and the overhead of running with
performance_schema on is not an issue.
While I was reading a blog post about performance_schema by Mark
Leith I wanted to see what P_S could tell me about my own
server.
This is the output from the first query:

I pledged, in my first post last month, that SkySQL will do its part to promote the best of MySQL and its community. Given the recent discovery that Oracle is no longer publishing test cases for bug fixes, and the dialogue surrounding it, it feels like the right time to share my thoughts on what this means to the open source collective, and what we can do – and are doing – about it.
A few months ago we announced the EXPLAIN Analyzer, a simple tool to help you understand how MariaDB / MySQL was running queries. For users of HeidiSQL this is now even easier. As discussed in their news post you can now send a query to the EXPLAIN analyzer with a single click.
We hope this helps both new and experienced users better understand the queries they run.
More information about the EXPLAIN Analyzer and the simple API client authors can use to add support to their apps is available in the AskMonty Knowledgebase:
Businesses increasingly operate in a 24×7 environment, where complex analytics must be performed on live, continuously incoming “Big Data.” To address this, TokuDB has developed Fractal Tree® technology, a revolutionary new indexing capability that enables SQL databases running advanced web applications to grow from gigabytes to terabytes while improving insert speed, query performance, compression, and enabling zero-downtime schema changes.
Date: September 5th
Time: 2 PM EST / 11 AM PST
TokuDB is used by MySQL and MariaDB customers worldwide to increase their database performance by 20x-80x on Big Data applications that conventional RDBMS’s cannot handle. Instead of waiting hours or even days to run queries …

An insightful post for my former (MySQL AB) colleague Giuseppe Maxia about how Oracle’s actions affect the MySQL landscape.
My own comment exploring why it’s happening (from Upstarta perspective) is on his blog post rather than here. From Open Query’s business perspective, we generally deploy MariaDB unless client prefers distro stock. We get the features we need in MariaDB, see the bugfixing and have an open dialog with the developers and see the development process.
While the current new code coming from Oracle definitely has interesting components, MariaDB has solved some real problems (such as subqueries), and integrated useful engines such as Sphinx, FederatedX, and our on …
