Disappearing test cases or did another part of MySQL just become closed source? « The MariaDB Blog
I stumbled over this blog entry: http://blog.mariadb.org/disappearing-test-cases/ It is this development of MySQL that make me so unhappy with the fact that Koha runs on MySQL only at the moment. Imo, Koha would be a much better product if it used PostgreSQL as the database system. -- Marc Balmer micro systems, http://www.msys.ch/ Tel. +41 61 383 05 10, Fax +41 61 383 05 12
Imo, Koha would be a much better product if it used PostgreSQL as the database system.
Patches welcomed! -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org

I'd bet the move to MariaDB will happen well before the move to PG unless opinions are accompanied by code. :-) MySQL is essentially closed source at this point anyway, and MariaDB is pretty much a drop-in replacement requiring only minimal changes. AAMOF I have a git branch hanging around somewhere with several patches to this end on it. Kind Regards, Chris

I'll dig around and post the mariadb patches. It appears that mariadb is a bit stricter syntactically than mysql. Kind Regards, Chris
