Record details and sources

Overview

MariaDB was created as a fork of MySQL after concerns over Oracle's acquisition of MySQL. It is designed to be highly compatible with MySQL, ensuring a drop-in replacement capability with library binary equivalency and exact matching with MySQL APIs and commands. It is developed by the original developers of MySQL and aims to maintain open-source freedom.

The API uses the active release. For a reproducible reference, pin the dataset download, version, schema and checksum.
