I didnt know there was a mariadb company and that they were public. Does this have implications for mariadb as a product?
Viva la postgresql
The nice thing about MariaDB is that you can use it in place of MySQL for WordPress. AFAIK there’s no official way to do the same with psql.
Sometimes I wonder if Wordpress is the main reason MySql and MariaDB still exist.
Name thing for jQuery and PHP… Though Laravel seems to have some good projects under its belt I don’t find the system intuitive to work with.
I do love PostGREs, free Oracle. It depends on if the DB connection in your app supports both.
Meh, time for another fork.
To those people saying switch to MySQL, they miss the point - MySQL and Maria are basically interchangeable, Maria was made to replace MySQL like for like when oracle took over. It was made by the same guy (et al) and he he named both after his daughters.
When Maria is taken over the same thing will happen. I for one hope that it is named for Widenius’ other child, max.

He’s got a kid called MySQL?
Don’t be silly, his kid was named SQL.
MySQL (/ˌmaɪˌɛsˌkjuːˈɛl/)[5] is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS).[5][6] Its name is a combination of “My”, the name of co-founder Michael Widenius’s daughter My,[7] and “SQL”.
My Widenius-SQL 😂
She’s like the real life Bobby Tables.
Came here to say this lol
Maybe Oracle could acquire them? 😢
We should then fork the project, and maybe create a struggling database company around it!
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

Fork time!

Glad I switch to Postgres years ago.
The ‘non-binding’ proposal comes 14 months after MariaDB went public via SPAC
If you plan to go public through a SPAC, you should take a step back.
I don’t know why any investor would buy Spacs where contacted can even go through the usual due diligence process.
