MariaDB: drop-in replacement for MySQL
MariaDB is designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more
features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.
MariaDB is brought to you by the MariaDB Foundation and the MariaDB corporation.
Please read the CREDITS file for details about the MariaDB Foundation,
and who is developing MariaDB.
MariaDB is developed by many of the original developers of MySQL who
now work for the MariaDB Corporation, the MariaDB Foundation and by
many people in the community.
MySQL, which is the base of MariaDB, is a product and trademark of Oracle
Corporation, Inc. For a list of developers and other contributors,
see the Credits appendix.  You can also run 'SHOW authors' to get a
list of active contributors.
A description of the MariaDB project and a manual can be found at:
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-versus-mysql-compatibility/
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/new-and-old-releases/
https://mariadb.org/
As MariaDB is a full replacement of MySQL, the MySQL manual at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc is generally applicable.

Live QA for beginner contributors
MariaDB has a dedicated time each week when we answer new contributor questions live on Zulip and IRC.
From 8:00 to 10:00 UTC on Mondays, and 10:00 to 12:00 UTC on Thursdays,
anyone can ask any questions they’d like, and a live developer will be available to assist.
New contributors can ask questions any time, but we will provide immediate feedback during that interval.
