What’s New in MariaDB Enterprise Server
summary
MariaDB Enterprise Server is a slower‑cadence, stability‑focused fork (launched 2019) that coexists with quarterly Community releases and a compatibility matrix; Enterprise 23 targets features produced in Community with backported non‑intrusive features (plugins, etc.). New work includes optimistic alter table that runs ALTER on master and replicas in parallel to eliminate the “double‑run” replication lag, and an online schema change that captures DML during the operation and applies it with a brief final lock. JSON gets iterative function additions, partitioning gains for hybrid ColumnStore/InnoDB use, Spider supports ODBC, and SkySQL is the test/migration path.
