About:
MariaDB 11.2 is a community-developed, open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) that serves as a binary-compatible, enhanced drop-in replacement for MySQL. It provides improved performance, security, and a rich set of storage engines and features while maintaining compatibility with MySQL protocols and APIs.
Key Features:
  • Binary drop-in replacement for MySQL
  • Enhanced performance with optimizations like Aria storage engine
  • Advanced security features including data masking and encryption
  • Support for multiple storage engines (InnoDB, MyRocks, etc.)
  • Active development with regular feature releases
Use Cases:
  • Replacing MySQL in existing applications without code changes
  • Powering web applications and dynamic websites requiring a robust RDBMS
  • Serving as the backend database for enterprise data warehousing and analytics
Alternatives:
  • mysql – Original database from which MariaDB was forked; MariaDB often includes newer features and performance improvements.
  • postgresql – A powerful, standards-compliant open-source RDBMS with a different feature set and SQL dialect, not a direct drop-in replacement for MySQL.
