Лучшие альтернативные MySQL движки для Magento – Percona, Mariadb

January 18, 2015 - Magento советы

MariaDB является ответвлением MySQL, которое развивается при участии всего сообщества по лицензии GNU GPL. Создателями решения являются оригинальные разработчики MySQL. Основные цели MariaDB включают в себя поддержание высокой совместимости с MySQL, обеспечение возможности “drop-in” замены с библиотекой двоичной эквивалентности и сопоставление с командами и API MySQL.
