*“Regarding SUSE Linux Enterprise 12, SUSE unfortunately chose to not

MariaDB open source database replaces the MySQL database system.”*

*Maybe rather Oracle should try to understand *WHY” almost all recent Linux
distros (as well as most major web2 companies) have switched to MariaDB.*

*One important reason is that the public bug-tracker for Oracle/MySQL is
incomplete. This was the most stupid thing Oracle ever did to MySQL and it
is completely unacceptable in the open-source world. Another reason is that
patches that are released as strictly GPL cannot be included in
Oracle/MySQL. MariaDB can freely use such patches – primarily from major
web2 companies (Google,Facebook etc.) – and they are doing and we have only
seen the beginning.*
