MariaDB is a community-developed fork of the MySQL relational database management system, the impetus being the community maintenance of its free status under the GNU GPL.
MariaDB is another alternative that derive from mysql..In this case we would like to test and share the guide on how to install MariaDB
First of all open terminal and type this sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
I recommend you to use MariaDB version 10.0.4 Alpha because when im installed it i’ve got no errors compare with 5.5 version.
Update : logon to http://mariadb.org for latest version 2: Put this commands in terminal
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 0xcbcb082a1bb943db sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://download.nus.edu.sg/mirror/mariadb/repo/10.0/ubuntu quantal main'
If you’re using other version please change the “quantal” to your ubuntu version codename
