Question
Is it possible to replace MySQL with MariaDB and vice versa?
Answer
Yes, it is possible to replace MySQL with MariaDB. MariaDB is considered to be a drop-in replacement for the corresponding MySQL version (i.e MariaDB 10.2 and MySQL 5.7).
- Please review feature differences between MariaDB and MySQL to make sure the switch won't affect applications using database server. If application installation requirements mention that both MySQL/MariaDB are supported like WordPress for example, switch should not make any harm.
- The procedure should be performed by a system administrator. If you need help, Plesk Professional Services can perform this task for you.
- For steps to perform a switch please refer to our blog article MySQL Vs MariaDB – Can One Replace The Other?
