Recently I was asked a question: Why am I getting utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci as the default collation in MySQL 8, despite setting the server to use utf8mb4_general_ci? With the upgrade to MySQL…
The post MySQL 8 utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci collation confusion first appeared on Change Is Inevitable.

This blog post was originally published in November 2017 and was updated in June 2023.
In this blog, we’ll provide a comparison between MariaDB vs. MySQL (including Percona Server for MySQL).
Introduction: MariaDB vs. MySQL
The goal of this blog post is to evaluate, at a higher level, MariaDB vs. MySQL vs. Percona Server for MySQL side-by-side to better inform the decision making process. It is largely an unofficial response to published comments from the MariaDB Corporation.

[Read more]Some say that the best password is the one you don’t have to remember. That’s possible with MySQL, thanks to the auth_socket plugin and its MariaDB version unix_socket.
Neither of these plugins is new, and some words have been written about the auth_socket on this blog before, for example: how to change passwords in MySQL 5.7 when using plugin: auth_socket. But while reviewing what’s new with MariaDB 10.4, I saw that the unix_socket now comes installed by default and is one of the authentication methods (one of them because in MariaDB 10.4 a single user can have more than one authentication plugin, …
