Thanks, Baron!
I’m glad you found it useful.

Brian, I’ve covered differences between MariaDB and MySQL in the book – but most of the book applies equally to both. We try to keep MariaDB compatible, as you know :)

@Xaprb: Thanks for the excellent review :)

@Brian: Unfortunately no Drizzle in it, it actually never occured to me for some reason (my bad!). Although a few of the themes are still relevent to Drizzle plugins.
I’m not sure a second edition would have the same title if we covered MariaDB and Drizzle in depth but it is a good idea.

There is not a great deal, but in the last chapter or so, it discusses authentication and audit plugins, with working code examples.

Hi!

Is there any MariaDB specific chapters or information in the book? I thought it was only MySQL.

Since Andrew works on Drizzle, I am hoping that in the next release they will get to cover us as well :)

Cheers,
