Given Oracle's recent changes to MySQL (i.e. commercialization, closed source addins, etc.), and Monty's fork from the MySQL project into MariaDb, which extends the original MySQL ethic, how difficult will it be to replace MySQL with MariaDb?
I guess the larger question is, will RoR make this shift standard anyday soon? I hope so.

Hi!

Replacing it is as simple as uninstalling MySQL, installing MariaDB, and starting it up. It reads the same data files, listens to the same port, etc. You use the same Rails connector
I guess the larger question is, will RoR make this shift standard anyday soon? I hope so.
Officially, RoR I believe uses SQLite. You then do a "rake migrate mysql" to use MariaDB.
HTH!
Hi,
+1 to Colin Charles
And if you want to migrate your data in a easy way you can check "yaml_db" gem!
