What in the heck is 'MariaDB' and why did it replace mysql??
MariaDB is the "follow" on project by one of the mysql guys started
after he left Sun because he wasn't happy with the direction and effort
Sun put into mysql after they bought it. AFAIK, MariaDB started with a
branch of the mysql code base just prior to the Sun acquisition.

What difference
does it make to me? I'm sure Maria is a sweet girl, but I was always partial to
mysql -- What gives?
With mysql now owned by Oracle, who knows how long it'll be maintained.
HTH,
Robert
