I would rather drop mysql-community-server than mariadb which is esentially an improved version of the former that uses either backports or custom tailored fixes.
Possible, I don't have a preference between those two, except that the mariadb package seems to be nonworking at the moment (trying factory with empty dir, the init script aborts becasue the initial database setup fails).
Not having to deal with Oracle is also a plus. ;)
as this is the community edition, I don't think we have to deal with Oracle in any way. The big plus is that Oracle maintains this version for us, so the only thing to do to fix security / bugs is usually to do a patchlevel version update. I'm not sure if the same applies to mariadb. My main point is: choose one, please. Thanks, Dirk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
