MySQL

MySQL is a widely spread, multi-threaded, multi-user SQL database, developed by Oracle.

Arch Linux favors MariaDB, a community-developed fork of MySQL, aiming for drop-in compatibility. Oracle's MySQL was dropped to the AUR: mysql^AUR. Another fork aiming to be fully compatible is Percona Server, available as percona-server.

The InnoDB storage engine by Oracle was also forked by Percona as XtraDB. The fork is used by both MariaDB and Percona Server.

gollark: Pascal's Mugging: someone comes up to you and says "give me £100 or I will eternally torture you and 10000 copies of you". Now, obviously, this is quite implausible. But it's a finite chance of an infinitely bad outcome, versus losing that finite amount of money, so you should do it, right?

gollark: I'm not a negative utilitarian, so no.

gollark: It's sort of the same thing the other way round.
