MariaDB on CentOS is faster than Oracle.
MariaDB on CentOS offers a robust SQL database experience similar to MySQL, excelling in performance and features compared to Oracle MySQL. As an open-source solution, it incurs no license costs and aids migrations from Oracle. However, improvements are needed in memory use, release management, compatibility, and outdated default versions. Although many Oracle features aren't available, MariaDB's speed provides a compelling case for organizations seeking efficient database solutions on CentOS.
