About:
MariaDB 10.5 is a mature, community-developed relational database server designed as a drop-in replacement for MySQL. It offers enhanced performance, replication improvements, and features like Invisible Columns and System-Versioned Tables. This version ensures compatibility while providing modern database capabilities for application development.
Key Features:
  • Drop-in MySQL compatibility
  • System-Versioned Tables (AS OF)
  • Invisible Columns for schema changes
  • InnoDB improvements and parallel replication
Use Cases:
  • Migrating legacy MySQL applications to MariaDB
  • Running applications requiring MySQL 5.7 compatibility
  • Implementing temporal data history tracking
Alternatives:
  • mysql – Oracle's MySQL is the direct upstream; MariaDB is a community fork with open-source focus
  • postgresql – PostgreSQL offers stricter SQL compliance and advanced features but lacks drop-in MySQL compatibility
