Installing MariaDB on Ubuntu_MySQL
MariaDB is termed a drop in replacement for MySQL – that means that you can deploy MariaDB without changing all of your client applications as MariaDB is compatible with most MySQL features and commands.
MariaDB was forked from MySQL when Oracle took over Sun Microsystems in 2010 and was born of the fear that Oracle would not adhere to the development ethos that was used by Sun. I discuss this in more detail in my blog post on MySQL alternative . There are a few gotchas with the new versioning system used by MariaDB and I’d recommend reading the blog post to familiarise yourself.
MariaDB has not yet made it into Ubuntu’s main repositories but is available as an add-in repository from MariaDB directly.
