= Installing MySQL/MariaDB

MySQL is a popular RDBMS (Relational Database Management System). MariaDB was born as a fork of MySQL.
Nowadays the two products are a little bit different. Migrating data from one system to the other could not be a trivial task.

MariaDB is fully GPLv2 licensed while MySQL has two licensing options, GPLv2 (for the Community edition) and Enterprise.

In the Fedora repositories you can find:

* MariaDB 10.3 (as a regular package or as a module)
* MariaDB 10.4 (as a module)
* MySQL 8.0 community edition (as a regular package or as a module)

NOTE: MariaDB and MySQL packages conflict because they provide similar files. So, you can only install one of them, either MariaDB or MySQL, but not both.

In addition you can also install MySQL commmunity edition (8.0 or 5.7) from the repository maintained by Oracle/MySQL itself.
