MariaDB and HeidiSQL.
-
Guys, Have any of you used MariaDB in projects? It was apparently started as an off-shoot from MySQL and I think it was created by the same person/team that originally created MySQL before Oracle took it over and started to charge for it. It supports much of MySQL and it comes with an IDE called HeidiSQL. I've only used it for quick fly-by tests and it looks to be very stable and quite comprehensive. It would be interesting to hear if anyone has moved from MySQL to MariaDB or if somebody who has a passion for databases could maybe comment about it.

When Oracle bought MySQL it worried me, but I was pretty happy to hear about the offshoot project. I'd also love to hear others' comments.

HeidiSQL is great, and is a stable addition to my toolbox. One thing it lacks is sqlite support (hopefully the author will get round to implementing it as the library he used has support for it now).

Mehdi, Thanks for confirming what I suspected was the case with Heidi. There's a lot going on inside it but sometimes a lot can be less but I think Heidi is equipped with what you need. I have a use in mind for it at work. We're currently using SQL Server 2008 in our commercial app which is fine with me but there are some hardware device test playbacks I'm working on and I see a perfect fit for MariaDB and Heidi.

Hi We are using MySQL in our main application (MFC7)(Accounting software). I 'vew seen the MariaDB web site and I was happy because of that. If anytime Oracle stop the support of MySQL we can switch to MariaDB. We have implemented some C++ class that it's methods are like CRecordset but much faster and no ODBC, with a lot of more features, full backup and restore, BLOB support and more... We must test this MariaDB. If anyone works on MySQL and MFC we will be glad to connect and help each other. Regards Hadi

I have been using MariaDB for the past year or so on personal web projects (LAMP, mind you), and so far it delivers just as it says: drop in replacement for mysql. In actual fact, I've uploaded from my test machine to my site (hosted on CentOS5, with MySQL, not MariaDB) and it all works flawlessly (so far). To be honest, I haven't tried the new storage engine, or any of the MariaDB-specific features, and the projects I'm working on require largely plain vanilla SQL queries, so my experience may not be really the norm. Also, I cannot comment on HeidiSQL, I prefer phpMyAdmin to interact with MySQL/MariaDB. HTH

If the box-shots include semi-naked women, I might be tempted to try them.
