If you are new to databases MariaDB might be a good place to start learning about them. MariaDB is a free and open source relational database management system. By open source it means people can contribute and make it even better.It was developed by some of the original developers that created another famous database management system known as MySQL which has since been acquired by the database giant oracle.

MariaDB is used by some very famous internet juggernauts like Facebook, Google and Wikipedia just to mention a few.It has a lot of similarities with MySQL .

  The current version of MariaDB is 10.1 and it can be installed on several platforms like windows ,Mac os and Linux.
