What do you want to see in MariaDB 10.1?
Last night, after my previous blog post, everyone in attendance at the SkySQL developer meeting in Barcelona gathered for dinner at El Cangrejo Loco, which, if my High School Spanish is working, translates as The Crazy Crab. After the excellent food, the tradition of singing at MySQL/MariaDB developer meetings was preserved.
Today the MariaDB developers in attendance at the SkySQL developer meeting in Barcelona got together to work on plans for MariaDB 10.1. We also paused for a group photo:

MariaDB Developers at the SkySQL Engineering Meeting
Several MariaDB developers are attending SkySQL’s annual engineering meeting being held this week in Barcelona. While some of the discussions are SkySQL-specific (customers, internal projects, and so on), there are, naturally, lots of MariaDB discussions happening.
Patrik Sallner, CEO of SkySQL, opened the meeting this morning with a short presentation about SkySQL’s goals for 2014. While the plan includes standard business-like things that include growing the company and sales goals, the top two goals for 2014 are:
-
Help make MariaDB into the leading open source database
-
Help increase awareness and adoption of MariaDB

MariaDB patches for Random Query Generator
My fellow testers and others who run RQG tests on MySQL flavors might be interested in some additions that are being used for MariaDB testing. While none of them is a major breakthrough, maybe they will make somebody’s life a little easier.
RQG Introduction
A quick introduction for those who have never heard of RQG, but are still curious what this blog post is about.
RQG stands for Random Query Generator, also known as randgen — an open-source product, available […]

MySQL man pages silently relicensed away from GPL
It has recently been brought to our attention that the MySQL man pages have been relicensed. The change was made rather silently going from MySQL 5.5.30 to MySQL 5.5.31. This affects all pages in the man/ directory of the source code.
You can tell the changes have come during this short timeframe (5.5.30->5.5.31). The old manual pages were released under the following license:

Database Master-Slave Replication in the Cloud
Jelastic
Many developers use master-slave replication to solve a number of different problems, including problems with performance, supporting the backup of different databases, and as a part of a larger solution to alleviate system failures. Traditionally, master-slave replication is done with real servers, but it can also be done with cloud database servers. This guest post from Jelastic (originally published here) describes how to set up MariaDB master-slave replication using their Jelastic PaaS (Platform as a Service).
Replication Overview

What does MariaDB 10.0.1 include – available now
First, congratulations Oracle on the GA of MySQL 5.6! Well done!
In this post I walkthrough the features of the first two alpha versions of MariaDB 10.0. The first, 10.0.0-alpha, which was made available in November, and 10.0.1-alpha that saw daylight yesterday. I will go through the features by placing them in the following categories:
- MariaDB 10.0-only Features (features that aren’t in MySQL 5.6)
- MariaDB 10.0 Merged Features (features merged from MySQL 5.6)
- MariaDB 10.0 Reimplemented Features (features reimplemented from features in MySQL 5.6)
- MariaDB 5.x Features now in MySQL 5.6 (features introduced in earlier MariaDB versions which have now been introduced in MySQL 5.6)
- MariaDB 5.x Features Backported from MySQL 5.6 (features introduced in earlier MariaDB versions which were backports of features from MySQL 5.6 development versions)
