SkySQL
Ab and Monty
Program Ab,
the creators
and developers
of MariaDB,
are excited to
share with you
that the two
companies have
signed an
agreement to
merge. This
merger will
reunite key
members of the
original MySQL
AB developer
and services
teams with the
aim to develop
MariaDB into a
truly
interoperable,
NewSQL open
source
database in
collaboration
with our
customers,
partners and
the community.
We
also pledge to
further evolve
our joint
offering for
users of the
MySQL
database.

the press
release
As
we start the
third day of
the MySQL
Conference and
Expo, in Santa
Clara, and
prepare for
our
free MySQL
& Cloud
Database
Solutions Day
on Friday,
we're excited
to talk to the
community
about what
this merger
means and how
we might be
able to help
you with
issues you're
facing as you
manage your
database
technologies
at the
enterprise
level and in
the cloud.
Come
meet the "new"
team:
MariaDB
is truly open
source and is
compatible
with the MySQL
database,
while
providing new
extensions and
features.
Users migrate
to MariaDB
because of its
openess and
inherent
performance
benefits. It
is
feature-enhanced
from the
optimiser
right through
to
replication.
It also comes
with bridges
to the NoSQL
and Big Data
worlds;
finally, it
comes with
cloud-ready
clustering
software,
MariaDB Galera
Cluster.

This
is an exciting
time for the
SkySQL and
MariaDB
community, as
well as the
open source
community as a
whole.
Thanks
for being part
of it, and we
look forward
to where we're
headed!
Kind
Regards,
Your
"new" SkySQL
team
