I picked Redis for my personal website storage initially because it seemed simple. Just push docs and JSON blobs in and it Just WorksTM.
Right now I'm converting to MariaDB, in case you wanna know how I feel about my original storage decision right now.

Discover the power of vector search in MariaDB!
Watch Daniel Black explore #MariaDB Vector, how it enables AI-ready indexing with HNSW, and how it stacks up against other vector databases at #FOSSASIASummit2025

#Perl DBD::mysql and the corresponding #RHEL package have always been #MariaDB compatible, i.e., you could install MariaDB and DBD::mysql RPMs together.
But the new DBD::mysql package in #CentOS stream can no longer be installed with MariaDB.
I filed a bug (https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-88746) and #RedHat said it's not supposed to work. Except it always has.
What do you think?
(Note if it doesn't work then all Perl scripts on the host that use DBD::mysql must be modified to use DBD::MariaDB instead.)

Movim is powerful web frontend for XMPP. Movim is officially dropping support for MySQL. They will only provide official support for PostgreSQL (default) and MariaDB.

It is too difficult to maintain compatibility with all the quirks and specificity of this database 
MySQL was already broken for a while (migrations not running, broken queries).
Don't worry we are still fully compatible with PostgreSQL (that is the recommended one) and MariaDB. You can find those two databases in all the major distributions 
This will greatly simplify and streamline the development of the project 
Has anyone setting up a #friendica instance for the #fediverse run into an issue where #php is unable to get authorized to log in to #mysql or #mariadb ? I am able to log in as those users in the cli and adminer webpages, and the user is given all privileges + has a wildcard for the host name.
@ninecloudnavigators may I ask why you rather support MySQL instead of #MariaDB for your database products?

Question, my colleague want's a small database with only a few tables ( #Mariadb / #mysql #sql ) - Data pushed with PowerShell Scripts
He also wants a small Web UI to search in this database with "basic" filtering
I've found #Adminer (https://www.adminer.org/de/) which looks simpler then things like phpMyAdmin
Is this a good choice ? thx
New House Projects – Weather Watching V0.5
I've always been fascinated with the weather. I can still remember the daily routine of charting the weather in kindergarten with meticulous scientific rigor: Each morning one pupil, on a rotation, would peer out a window and then mark down if it was sunny, or cloudy, or possibly raining...
