"MariaDB review"

What do you like best? The large community to reach out for help What do you dislike? Nothing, the only thing I am concern is the the fact that it is open and people have access to try to hack into it. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I used it to build a tracking system for applications. The benefits are huge, integration with other systems and it is easy to find help from the community using it.
