MariaDB is ontstaan als fork van MySQL, nadat dit in 2009-2010 door Oracle werd overgenomen. Voor een overzicht van de verschillen tussen MariaDB en MySQL kun je op deze en deze pagina's terecht. MariaDB is een krachtige opensourcedatabaseserver, die vooral populair is als website- en forumdatabase. De ontwikkelaars hebben versie 10.6.2 uitgebracht als bèta en daarnaast 10.5.11, 10.4.20, 10.3.30 en 10.2.39 als productie uitgaves. De belangrijkste veranderingen van deze uitgaves zien er als volgt uit:
