XAMPP 内置了 MySQL，而不是 MariaDB？

Question

Everything says XAMPP has MariaDB now, but using the latest download link it only has MySQL. Am I missing something? For my needs I'd rather use MariaDB, but can make due with MySQL if need be, but it might create some minor headaches down the road. Is it simply because I'm on Windows?

Answer 1

From the MariaDB Wiki:

MariaDB is a community-developed, commercially supported fork of the MySQL relational database management system (RDBMS), intended to remain free and open-source software under the GNU General Public License. Development is led by some of the original developers of MySQL, who forked it due to concerns over its acquisition by Oracle Corporation in 2009.[6]

XAMPP (currently version 7.4.3) ships with MariaDB (currently version 10.4.11)

The current version you're using should come up when logging via the cmd line or if you do a SELECT VERSION();
