Converting mySQL database to MariaDB: findings so far… I have now been running the blog site with MariaDB for a week, so what have I noticed? The server is no longer running out of disk space due to frequently created large log files in the database volume (previously mySQL, but now MariaDB). Was there an underlying problem in mySQL? #server #mysql #mariadb #opensource #migration

MariaDB ignored indexes in action.

Just explored Ignored Indexes in #MariaDB. Neat way to mark indexes so the optimizer doesn’t use them while still keeping them maintained. Great to check if an index is worth dropping without the risk of re-creating it later. How do you decide when an index is no longer useful?

Stop using MySQL in 2026, it is not true open source If you care about supporting open source software, and still use MySQL in 2026, you should switch to MariaDB like so many others have already done.\n

It’s no secret that #MySQL has been on the decline in recent years. 📉 The obvious answer? Switching to MariaDB.

@ottoke.bsky.social dives into why migrating to MariaDB is the easy, clear choice: optimizedbyotto.com/post/reasons...

Stop using MySQL in 2026, it is not true open source If you care about supporting open source software, and still use MySQL in 2026, you should switch to MariaDB like so many others have already done.\n

Still using #MySQL? Stewarded by Oracle, MySQL has been in decline for years. Stop using it in 2026, especially if your care about the #opensource #FOSS methodology and not just the license.

helm repo and helm install commands for the MariaDB Enterprise Kubernetes Operator

#MariaDB Enterprise #Kubernetes Operator simplifies the deployment and management of MariaDB #databases within the K8 environment. 🌐

Now, you can easily install the operator on an #Ubuntu VM by following these steps: mariadb.com/resources/bl...

My favorite change is that MariaDB got an improved implementation of the WHERE year(...) = ? rewriting. use-the-index-luke.com/blog/2024-12...

In picture: the green check mark used to be yellow, with the "a" footnote: Unconditionally rewritten — even if only a matching function-based index exists

I agree - I always regret it. But using DBeaver to connect has helped.

In the end though I always convert to MariaDB at some point and regret not starting there. 🤷‍♂️
