What is the difference between InnoDB and MariaDB?
InnoDB is a good general transaction storage engine, and, from MariaDB 10.2, the best choice in most cases. It is the default storage engine from MariaDB 10.2. It is a performance-enhanced fork of InnoDB and is MariaDB’s default engine until MariaDB 10.1.
Should I use InnoDB?
InnoDB is a general-purpose storage engine that balances high reliability and performance. Since MySQL 5.6, InnoDB is the default MySQL storage engine. It can be used for transaction purpose i.e. all ACID properties. InnoDB can be used for row level locking, that means it gives higher performance as compared to MyISAM.
Why does MariaDB 10.2 use InnoDB instead of XtraDB?
Keeping InnoDB (or XtraDB) up to date with MySQL (Percona) is a complex task. It took us more than half a year to migrate from InnoDB-5.6 to InnoDB-5.7 in 10.2. Doing it again for XtraDB would probably have required only slightly less than this.
Which is the default storage engine in MariaDB?
Up until 10.1, MariaDB used Percona XtraDB as the default ‘InnoDB’ storage engine. From 10.2, InnoDB is the default. Why was this change made?
Why is MariaDB forked version of MySQL?
MariaDB is a forked version of MySQL. It was primarily developed due to concerns that arose when MySQL was acquired by Oracle Inc. MariaDB is a general-purpose DBMS engineered with extensible architecture to support a broad set of use cases via pluggable storage engines. It uses different storage engines to support different use cases.
Which is better MariaDB or MySQL for small business?
Its speed is one of its most prominent features. MariaDB is also remarkably scalable, and is able to handle tens of thousands of tables and billions of rows of data. It can also manage small amounts of data quickly and smoothly, making it convenient for small businesses or personal projects.
