I am using Mysql, now i would like to upgrade to MariaDB.
The MariaDB guy say: "MariaDB is a binary drop in replacement for MySQL"
Anybody who have used and using MariaDB, please suggest me: should or don't should to switch to MariaDB from Mysql and the reasons why!
I would like the suggests come from experience.
Thank for any suggestions!
I installed MariaDB on my Arch Linux system yesterday. Works a treat. Easy to setup and configure. Lightweight and fast. Can't believe its free :).
I say go for it.

I want to create a new rails application and I'm not sure whether to use MySQL or Postgres. Which one is best and what is the difference between them?
UPDATE:
The project is a health-care project. It may contain more than 500 tables.
postgres is secure, fast, and full of features but comparatively tricky to use.
MySql has its own benefits along with large user community and vast materials. Immensely helpful if you ever get stuck.
But ultimately it all comes to your preference and framework (apart from rails if your app requires any) support.

How can I downgrade my MySQL database from version 6 to 5? Since I manage to install some packages only support to ver 5.
Your best bet is going to be trying a dump & restore. As long as you didn't use any MySQL 6.x functionality, it should go smoothly.
As always, backup before doing potentially dangerous actions.

I need reproduce the exact same environment of a system in production, it's working with mysql 4.1.3b-beta-nt-max version, where I can get this exact version? I have looking with google but it seems like it's no longer available anywhere.
Thanks.
Try searching historical databases such as
http://www.oldapps.com/mysql_server.php?old_mysql_server=131
...in a pinch, you can install a "similar" version (such as the one above, 4.1.3beta-win), and then replace the binaries with the production ones. MySQL doesn't do strange things with the registry, so this procedure should suffice.

As funny as it is, most good MySQL editors are Windows based.
I am looking for a tool (US$400 top) for Ubuntu that can:
Auto complete tables and fields names + reserved keywords.
syntax coloring.
inline row content edit.
copy tables/databases from one host to an other.
I think the best Windows based is SQLyog, but it is a nightmare working on Wine.
I highly recommend DbVisualizer. It's a Java application and runs on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. The MySQL JDBC driver is bundled in the package.
you might look at these sql clients below, all of them are open-source:

Including...how to set up the partition, how to determine which partition to talk to...etc.
I know replication but am new to partitioning.
Improving Database Performance with Partitioning
http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/partitioning.html
This would be a good start: MySQL Partitioning Overview
Also, I haven't watched this one specifically, but the presentations by the Pythian group are usually pretty good. Reading a manual may be more efficient, but as an alternative this video will teach you quite a bit about partitioning in MySQL.
