<br />
tks.<br />
<br />
it seems that latest version can handle subqueries, this is good.<br />
<br />
how about select distinct and cursor and loop ?
</div>


<div>
If you can do it in MySQL, it should work exactly the same in MariaDB. &nbsp;It does not need any <b>other</b> tools... beside the ones you already use with MySQL.
</div>


<div>
&quot; It does not need any other tools...&quot;<br />
<br />
yes, I just learned that MariaDB is another branch of MysQL, right?<br />
<br />
I use Toad for MySQL and this tools is free.<br />
<br />
so this tools should be able to manage mariaDB, right?
</div>


<div>
ok tks..so why there are diff kinds of MySQL ?<br />
<br />
what good is &nbsp;mariaDB ?
</div>


<div>
sorry, on vocation for a week, no connection to the web at all.<br />
<br />
&quot;MariaDB has said that their's will always be Open Source and free. &nbsp;They do have paid support if you want it.&quot;<br />
<br />
ok, good answer. this mean this can make oracle buy one more... :):)<br />
<br />
&quot;&nbsp;A lot of people are probably using it without knowing it because their web hosting company is providing MariaDB rather than MySQL.&quot;<br />
<br />
I am sorry, using it without knowing it? how come? you mean the user don't even know what DB the web site is connecting to it ?<br />
<br />
ok, this product only means a DB supposed to be free forever.. but who knows ..
</div>


<div>
Why would they know? &nbsp;MariaDB and MySQL act exactly the same.
</div>


<div>
good ! I just don't understand what you are saying. so they just change the name and they are the same,<br />
<br />
MariaDB has Windows server version ?
</div>


<div>
For all basic operations, they act like they are identical. &nbsp;You're welcome.
</div>


<div>
and which part is not the same ?
</div>


<div>
You can get special, enterprise, and commercial versions of both of them for more advanced purposes. &nbsp;You could go read the specs on their web sites. &nbsp;They make it pretty clear.

MySQL 5.6 or MariaDB

MySQL is an open source, relational database management system that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. Acquired by Oracle in 2009, it is frequently used in combination with PHP installations, powering most of the WordPress installations.

MySQL Server

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.
