SQL Database Examples MariaDB and MySQL MariaDB and MySQL are binary-compatible open source SQL database servers that were originally MySQL-only. However, due to concerns about the future of MySQL after its acquisition by Oracle Software, MariaDB was spun off from the project as a standalone entity but retains compatibility with MySQL's client APIs and protocols, as well as data and table definition files. This means that, in most cases, third-party tools will work with both versions and can generally be considered interchangeable replacements.


With the acquisition of MySQL, Oracle has been a fairly benevolent guardian of the open source project and many of the community's initial concerns have not materialized, however, some open source purists greece phone number list may still prefer MariaDB to MySQL. Postgresql PostgreSQL is an object-relational database management system (ORDBMS), rather than a pure RDBMS like MySQL and MariaDB. This means that PostgreSQL's data models can be based on relational database models, but can also be object-oriented.


In practice, this means that we see PostgreSQL used in more complex and varied data models, while we see MariaDB and MySQL used for more lightweight data models. Evolving from the Ingres project at UC Berkley in 1982, PostgreSQL was created with the goal of adding as few features as necessary to support all major data types. This "maximum value for minimum effort" approach continues to guide PostgreSQL development to this day.
