Hi everyone, I've migrated my site to another host and as a consequence of this, I went from using Mysql 5.7 to Mariadb 10.11.11.

I know that IPS is optimised for Mysql and not Mariadb, but as a common drop-in, has anyone used it with version 4.7.20?

I went through what's available here, and apparently someone had noticed the site becoming slower after upgrading to 4.7.19 some time ago.

So, I'd appreciate any feedback from someone using Mariadb with 4.7.20. Cheers!

PS, I'm still using IPS 4.7.15 and it works fine (hence wondering if the upgrade to 4.7.20 is worth it?)

Hi @PPlanet,

I'm not using any versions you have mentioned in your post, but for the record, I'm using MariaDB Version 10.6.19 with Invision Community Version 5.0.5 with no issues. At least none that I am aware of or can notice. I wouldn't consider my community heavy in traffic compared to others that might notice it.

Changing to MySQL has been on my to-do list for some time now though. 🤔

There are indeed people using that version, but just be aware, they are also people that have moved away from mariadb to mysql 8 as they have seen performance issues. As you mention yourself there, we dont optimise for mariadb

Yes, I wanted to change to Mysql 8 but I have a few legacy sites (non IPS) that would not work with it. My new host didn't have Mysql 5.7 and talked me into using Mariadb instead. I'm quite happy with the performance at the new server but can't put it to the change in Mysql exclusively.

By the time I'm ready to upgrade to version 5, I'll probably swap to Mysql 8 that being the case. (Have plenty of other things to solve first though) :) Cheers

But why, if you're not facing any problems?

I'm using MariaDB 10.11.11 with IC 4.7, and I haven't had any problems with MariaDB.

Thanks; what version of IPS 4.7 are you using? 4.7.20?

No reason other than it’s what Invision Community is optimised to use.

Been using MariaDB for some time now, currently using 4.7.20 with MariaDB 10.6.21 with no issues and no performance issues.

Great to know, cheers!

I've used MariaDB for the past 7/8 years, not had a problem with it and have found it faster than mysql.

Im using MariaDB 11.4 and i have no issues with IPS 4.7.20
