The MariaDB database management system is a branch of MySQL. It is mainly maintained by the open-source community and licensed by GPL. One of the reasons for developing this branch is that after Oracle acquired MySQL, there is a potential risk of closing the source of MySQL. Therefore, the community uses the branch method to avoid this risk. MariaDB is designed to be fully compatible with MySQL, including APIs and command lines, so that it can easily become a substitute for MySQL. In terms of storage engine, XtraDB is used to replace InnoDB of MySQL. MariaDB was developed by Michael Widenius, MySQL founder. He sold his own company MySQL AB to SUN for $1 billion, as SUN was acquired by Oracle, the ownership of MySQL also fell into the hands of Oracle. MariaDB is named by Michael Widenius's daughter Maria.
