RHEA-2015:1062 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

New rh-mariadb100 packages are now available as part of Red Hat Software
Collections 2.0 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Description

MariaDB is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. For all practical
purposes, MariaDB is binary-compatible with MySQL.

This enhancement update adds the rh-mariadb100 packages to Red Hat Software
Collections 2.0. MariaDB 10.0.17, included in the rh-mariadb100 Software
Collection, provides a number of bug fixes, performance improvements, and
enhancements over the version shipped in Red Hat Software Collections 1. For
example:

• Parallel replication, which enables MariaDB to execute queries on the slave in

parallel

• Global transaction ID, which allows to easily change a slave server to connect

to and a master server to replicate from; the state of the slave is recorded in
a crash-safe way

• Multi-source replication, which means that one server has multiple masters

from which it replicates

• New NoSQL features that add access to diverse data sources dynamically
• New sharding features that allow database tables to be split across servers.

(BZ#1167897)

All users who require rh-mariadb100 are advised to install these new packages.
