Good news! cPanel, one of the leading control panels in the hosting world has just announced that they are going to make MariaDB Server the default database when installing new cPanel instances. This change is slated to occur in version 122 of cPanel & WHM, coming in Q3 of 2024. We at MariaDB Foundation are very happy about this decision and are looking forward to continuous collaboration, to the benefit of our users and the MariaDB Server project.
We think that this is a great decision for cPanel users because we at MariaDB have stayed true to the original values of MySQL, including:
- Long term backwards compatibility
- Painless upgrades and ease of use
- Long term stable releases;

It’s been a while since we posted about community organised events. I’m happy to have the chance to talk about my experience attending Percona University in Athens.
For those in a hurry, the main topics are:
1. Databases in the cloud, why vendor-lock is important to consider.
2. How to build Open Source databases, FerretDB and TiDB, two completely different approaches.
3. Upgrading from MySQL 5.7, monitoring and AI to speed up things.
Seeing familiar faces, discussing database experiences
When working within the MariaDB Foundation, it isn’t always easy to get feedback on what works and what doesn’t.

We are excited to announce that this year MariaDB has once again been accepted as a Google Summer of Code organization. With this blog post I want to showcase the projects we’re taking on and wish good luck to our mentees for the summer!
At MariaDB we strongly believe in growing Open Source and we encourage new developers to contribute. Google Summer of Code allows us to have dedicated contributors focus on a project for a few months, knowing the costs are covered. We at MariaDB can then just focus on the core aspects – writing code and growing our community.

Thanks, and enjoy MariaDB! …
MariaDB 10.11.0, our latest preview release, features quite a number of improvements. The one we’ll talk about today is GRANT … TO PUBLIC.
Background
MariaDB has quite a complex privilege system. Most of it is based on the SQL Standard spec; however we do have some specific MariaDB extensions. GRANT … TO PUBLIC (MDEV-5215) is a standard feature that is now available as a preview in MariaDB 10.11.0. It is related to ROLES and DEFAULT ROLE, but it covers a different use case.
ROLES are effectively “privilege packages” that you can enable and disable as a user.

Our most recent MariaDB Server release introduced some regressions starting with the 10.6 series, affecting 10.7 – 10.9 as well. This blog post is here to explain the problems in hopes that the impact is minimized. We are likely going to release a new version of MariaDB correcting these problems soon.
InnoDB Full Text Index on tables causes an assertion error (MDEV-29342)
There was a bug in the InnoDB Storage Engine where the full text index could go out of sync with the actual table data. This would happen when only one new row was inserted between the last InnoDB sync (which happens asynchronously) and a server shutdown.

A few weeks ago we hosted a webinar together with Acronis and CPanel on security and backup best practices as both provide software in this space. Acronis develops Cyber Security cloud based software particularly specializing in backup and disaster recovery for other service providers. CPanel in turn helps those service providers to enable their customers to administer their systems via a fully fledged dashboard. The webinar was a follow-up on another join presentation at CloudFest. The webinar presented quite a number of good ideas and I highly recommend you watch it.
