Re: [Semediawiki-user] SMW and MariaDB?

[Jeroen De D. <jer...@gm...>]

Hey,

We do not have an official stance on this yet.

Since MySQL and MariaDB currently still have the same interface as far as
SMW is concerned, supporting MariaDB is something we automatically do. The
same is true for core. Ideally the MW core db abstraction layer would catch
any differences that might be introduced in the future. Not all SMW code is
using this (as the abstraction layer is not powerful enough), so we might
still need to do things ourselves at some point.

As long as the MariaDB don't make to crazy changes to their interface, I'd
like to see SMW work with it just fine.

Cheers
