MariaDB or MySQL
#1

Hello,

I'm using MariaDB for my projects. Which one is recommended to use with CI? MariaDB or MySQL ?

Thanks

@randvader,

Right now they are very similar but eventually they will be different. MariaDB is a fork of MySQL. I don't think that you could go wrong with either one. One of the main issues between the two is that Oracle owns MySQL that is the main reason why the MariaDB fork came about.

Either one works fine. MariaDB is a drop-in replacement as far the PHP api goes, so they both work the same at that level. If you start using any db-specific features you'll be doing basic query calls, anyway, since they'll be out of the scope of the Query Builder.
