Axel Wers Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I would recommend give full support for MariaDB in IP Suite 4. I tested MariaDB and I noticed a great increase of performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 MariaDB is a drop-in replacement for MySQL. No official support is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Yes...what support exactly do we need to build in? It replaces MySQL and uses the same query syntax, so nothing at the software level should need to be changed as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It replaces MySQL and uses the same query syntax, so nothing at the software level should need to be changed as far as I know. That's good. Although I asked for this via ticket few months ago and I got this ansver: The only supported database is currently MySQL. While MariaDB is not officially supported, and we cannot guarantee that it will work correctly with IP.Board... So then if you can guarantee full support, then I will be pleased.

Makoto Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I highly doubt support would ever shun you for using MariaDB, unless you were somehow experiencing an issue specifically linked to MariaDB. (Which shouldn't ever happen, because as stated MariaDB is a drop in replacement for MySQL, it should just work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Indeed, we officially support MySQL only, but MariaDB is effectively just a MySQL replacement and the only problems you'd have to worry about is if we felt the issue you were facing was due to using MariaDB specifically instead of MySQL. I have a hard time imagining that scenario actually occurring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Wers Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 OK then, I'll test it on test board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmacleo Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I have not tried yet but the cpanel blog has unsupported procedure for this http://blog.cpanel.net/mysql-mariadb/ figured would post that before I forgot in case any cpanel user was wondering too.

mat206 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I use MariaDB on http://www.gamedev.net/ .. no problems obviously, given that it's a drop-in replacement as stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 MariaDB and Percona both work just fine, I have used them both without any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmacleo Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 seeing as how maria will be RH/Cent defaults real soon this question will come up more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
