Question

MySQL

What do you prefer: MySQL, Maria, Percona, Anything else? Are there any huge differences in how they work? For example, for an average project with the same settings, will there be a noticeable difference? I understand that depends on many "ifs", but are there any differences, if judged very abstractly?

Answer 2
