FAQPage Schema
How does Galera clustering work for MariaDB high availability?

Galera clustering provides synchronous multi-master replication for MariaDB, ensuring fault tolerance and data consistency across nodes. It enables continuous uptime by allowing all cluster nodes to accept reads and writes simultaneously with automatic conflict resolution.

Can I use MariaDB as a direct replacement for an existing MySQL database?

Yes, MariaDB is fully MySQL-compatible, allowing you to seamlessly replace existing MySQL databases. You can migrate your data and queries directly without requiring significant application code changes.

How do I create a table in a MariaDB database cluster?

To create a table in a MariaDB database cluster, execute standard SQL data definition statements. For example, you can create a 'users' table with 'id' and 'name' columns using the mariadb skill interface.

Do I need a specific MariaDB server configuration to enable Galera clustering?

Yes, Galera clustering requires a MariaDB server instance specifically configured for Galera. You must set up the server environment to support synchronous multi-master replication before managing data definition and replication tasks.

What advanced database features does MariaDB support beyond standard MySQL?

MariaDB supports system-versioned tables, multiple storage engines including ColumnStore and Spider, and native vector search capabilities. These features enable scalable database clusters for critical applications requiring continuous uptime.
