We are reviewing options between MySQL and MariaDB. RHEL 7 beta seems to have MariaDB as the default MySQL-like DB.<br>
<br>
Can someone summarise the status of the OpenStack in terms of<br>
<br>
<br>
- What MySQL-flavor is/are currently tested in the gate ?<br>
<br>
- What is supported by the current code ?<br>
<br>
- Is there an agreed long term direction and if there are transitions, when will these occur ?<br>

Tim it is worth noting that, for the most part, MariaDB 5.5 is going to<br>
work 99.9% the same as MySQL 5.5, which is, I believe, what is tested<br>
in the gate (since it is just what you get when apt-get installing<br>
mysql-server on Ubuntu). I have only heard of a few optimizer quirks in<br>
MariaDB that make it any different to vanilla MySQL.<br>
<br>
I do think that while we've been able to make some assumptions about<br>
this compatibility for a while, with MariaDB becoming a proper fork and<br>
not just a derivative, we will likely need to start testing both.<br>
</blockquote></div>
My understanding is later versions of MySQL change the on disk format and possibly some other compatibility functionality, making testing both a necessity since Red Hat ships Maria and Ubuntu plans to stick with MySQL.</blockquote>
