Question Relocating from MySQL to MariaDB

[Adi Sharma]

Hello All,

I take care of sites in Wordpress and Joomla.

Presently running 5.7 in MySql and thinking about whether it has any kind of effect relocating from MySql to MariaDB?

Does anybody have experience moving databases from MySQL to MariaDB?

Is it worth doing as such?

What effect do you expect from such a relocation? Are you unsatisfied with MySQL?

 

[Adi Sharma]

Yes, sometimes I feel MariaDB is better than MySQL but Is it true?
