hi Folks
i am just sending out an email to encourage Koha developers to switch to MariaDB for their Koha dev/testing/QA work
I've been singing this tune for awhile and am still all for it. :-)
fyi: 6 weeks ago, i switched to MariaDB for my dev and QA work, so far - ZERO problems :)
There are a couple of gotchas as MariaDB's sql seems to be a bit stricter in some places. I'll try to remember to have a look tomorrow at my old dev repo which I ran over MariaDB for about a year. I think I have some patches for the areas I found. Nothing major, though. .... time passes .... I found them and attached them to the bug we opened for this very long ago: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5366 They may or may not apply at this point, but should at least indicate where I found issues. Kind Regards, Chris
