FCB-ROGA Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 Is there anything with IPB 3.x that will not work with Percona? If I simply stop MySQL, and then go to Percona, can I expect a smooth transition, or are there more details to it than that when using IPB?
Codehusker Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 I switched from vanilla MySQL to Percona with no problems. Percona includes their 'turbo-charged' InnoDB-based storage engine, XtraDB, so if you haven't already you might want to investigate converting some tables to InnoDB. I've since moved from Percona to MariaDB, which you might want to investigate. It's a similar MySQL-compatible fork, but it's maintained by a more open community, whereas Percona is a business that also happens to publish their MySQL variant. MariaDB is also run by one of the original MySQL devs and many who left when Oracle bought MySQL. Percona takes vanilla MySQL and applies some performance patches, but MariaDB sometimes rewrites entire features to be more efficient and robust than vanilla MySQL while maintaining binary compatibility. Good luck!
Luis Manson Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Im on MariaDB too, also Maria includes XtraDB, which is Percona's engine :)
