A few moments ago I received an email from Archlinux advising that from now on MariaDB will become the official MySQL implementation, moving this to AUR next month and that the same will happen in the next version of Slackware.
MariaDB is a fork of MySQL created by the founder of MySQL, Michael Widenius after the purchase of Sun Microsystems by Oracle and that is fully compatible, including libraries and modules of PHP, Python, Perl.
To change in Archlinux you just have to follow these steps:
systemctl stop mysqld
pacman -S mariadb libmariadbclient mariadb-clients
systemctl start mysqld
mysql_upgrade -p
Will this mean the beginning of the true end of MySQL?
Very good info
Information is appreciated.
Chakra also made the change at the end of January → http://www.chakra-project.org/news/index.php?/archives/3-Switching-from-MySQL-to-MariaDB.html
Now you just need a fork of VirtualBox.
That would be amazing. Neither Q (QEMU port for Mac) nor Bochs have worked for me; and I don't want to go back to Parallels or VMWare.
Chikxulub Kukulcan? It must be Yucatan right?
GNOME boxes? It is also quite simple to use.
I never understood what these programs do and why they are in all (or almost all) distros, I mean MySQL and Martia DB.
I would be grateful if someone can explain to me in a few words what they are for 🙂
MySQL, and therefore MariaDB, are databases, that is, they store data to later be used, modified or deleted.
MySQL is today the database par excellence in web page servers, being the M of what we call AMP (Apacha + PHP + MySQL) and the greatest competition from Oracle, since the main market for this is the databases of data.

Thank you very much Son_Link. You clarified my doubt 🙂
PS: jamin-samuel xDD, I didn't ask a question, but a request haha
+1000
Answer to the last question:
SI
^__^
I still always program for mysql, the truth is that I have not tried mariadb, although the process I suppose is the same.
I have a problem upgrading.
Phase 1/3: Fixing table and database names
mysqlcheck: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'root' @ 'localhost' (using password: YES) when trying to connect
FATAL ERROR: Upgrade failed
Any idea?
It's telling you that you don't have access.
When you execute the command, it asks you for the password of the root user in the DB
😀
Good info… but you don't say anything about Slackware XD. Patrick's information and comments can be found at: http://slackware.com/changelog/current.php?cpu=i386
And to make the change you have to update to Slackware current, with slackpkg of course.

Good,
How good is Slackware's Hardware Recognition? Does it recognize all your devices the first time?
Let me know..
Thank you!
Slackware has a reputation in the world of Linux as one of the most outstanding distributions in stability, where they take care and test every detail in a rigorous way, in this order of ideas, Slackware recognizes any type of hardware from its installation.
Thanks for the tip Mr. Linux
Let's give it a try to see how it goes ..
Regards!
Not forgetting that it is the oldest active distro, which has given it a well-earned fame, as you mentioned. Unfortunately, I fear the installation.
The installation is no different from other distributions. Here in DesdeLinux There are some very complete articles where they teach the user how to install it and configure it after installation. I leave you the link of the installation.

Sure, in my experience Slackware has the same hardware recognition as any of the more popular Linux distributions. Especially in the most recent versions.

Good old info!
PS: As I have read on the web, MARIADB could be the same Mysql, perhaps with some other improvement, but regarding the Syntax it is quite similar, of course, they belong to the same creator 😛
Regards!
Good info! Thank you!
It might sound silly but what is the advantage for me as an end user to switch from MySQL to MariaDB?
Nothing, only that you will be one more user who will support switching to a fork that has a good future 100% free compared to MySQL that is on its way to being proprietary because of Oracle.
It's the same thing that happened with the switch from OpenOffice to LibreOffice.
For the end user ... well none, everything is a matter of licenses and fights.
As pandev92 says, plus the licensing issue since it is clearer that Oracle wants to close MySQL since it does not say the changes, it does not launch New Builds (versions compiled from the last code revision), etc.
Apart from what I read, MariaDB is faster than MySQL.
MariaDB patches is patched faster than MySQL when bugs or vulnerabilities appear.
Furthermore, as the F / LOSS is aimed at using MariaDB as a de-facto SQL engine, it is very possible that in the future and once this engine is established it will acquire its own personality, leaving MySQL behind or aside.
In any case, migrating to MariaDB is the safe option.
I already changed 2 months ago from MySQL to MariaDB on my ArchLinux and 0 problems, it works fine.
I think MariaDB is a nice name 😀 and at least it's easy to pronounce in our language, not like a teacher in college who says "mai ese-cu-ele" xDDDDDDDD I don't know if it's valid or I'm very picky but I find it funny, it also says copy-paste like this «copy-peish» xDD an idol my teacher hahaha
[forgive the almost off-topic comment]
hahahaha, what hdp xD
I that you write very big on the blackboard before he enters class MAI-SI-QUIuL, FORRO !!!
What I find curious is that the name of the service is still mysqld, will there be problems later with the trademarks?
Good post. Thank you
