MariaDB Systemeigenschaften

MariaDB is the most powerful open source relational database – modern SQL and JSON support, Oracle Database compatibility, continuous availability and comprehensive security.

MariaDB can be deployed as a standard database, a distributed SQL database or as a data warehouse. It supports transactional, analytical and hybrid transactional/analytical processing (HTAP) with row storage for fast transactions and columnar storage for scalable analytics.

MariaDB's versatility stems from its pluggable storage engine architecture, with different storage engines optimized for different workloads. These storage engines, together with MariaDB Enterprise Server and MariaDB MaxScale, form MariaDB Platform – a complete database solution.

MariaDB Xpand is a distributed SQL engine for MariaDB, providing it with unlimited read, write and storage scalability via distributed transactions, tables and indexes.

MariaDB ColumnStore is a columnar storage engine for MariaDB, transforming it into a data warehouse for interactive, ad hoc analytics at scale. In addition, it has optional support for massively parallel processing and object storage (e.g., Amazon S3).

MariaDB MaxScale is an advanced database proxy for MariaDB. It abstracts away the physical database infrastructure so developers don't have to worry about using separate read/write connections or handling load balancing, and DBAs can add replicas/nodes or perform upgrades without interrupting production applications.

MariaDB Enterprise Server is an enhanced, hardened and secured version of MariaDB created to provide customers with enterprise reliability, stability and long-term support.

MariaDB in the cloud

SkySQL is a fully managed database-as-a-service (DBaaS) built and supported by MariaDB engineers, and the only one to bring the full power of MariaDB Platform to the cloud. With the click of a button, MariaDB can be deployed for any workload, at any scale and to any cloud.

• Any cloud – deploy to Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure (coming soon)
• Any workload – choose from transactions, analytics or hybrid transactions/analytics
• Any scale – replicated, clustered or distributed SQL databases with up to twenty nodes

MariaDB has many features unavailable in other open source relational databases.

• Encryption at rest
• Point-in-time rollback
• Multi-master clustering
• Encryption at rest
• Sharding
• Table and log compression
• Temporal tables
• Oracle PL/SQL compatibility
• Columnar storage

MariaDB Platform provides additional features previously unseen in open source relational databases.

Zero Interruption Failover (ZIF) preserves existing connections, recovers any in-flight transactions and retries any failed queries, making database instance failures completely transparent to applications.

Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing (HTAP) stores data in both row and columnar formats, enabling customer-facing transactional applications to incorporate fast analytics on near real-time data.

Distributed SQL allows for unlimited scaling on demand, capable of handling millions of transactions per second with strong consistency and continuous availability with zonal awareness.

Web, SaaS and Cloud operational/transactional applications that require high availability, scalability and performance.
