Download MariaDB 10.6.4

MariaDB originated as a fork of MySQL, after it was taken over by Oracle. For an overview of the differences between MariaDB and MySQL you can visit: this one and this one pages right. MariaDB is a powerful open source database server, which is especially popular as a website and forum database. The developers have released version 10.6.4 and the main changes made to it are listed below:

InnoDB

• InnoDB no longer acquires advisory file locks by default (MDEV-24393)
• Encryption: Automatically disable key rotation checks for file_key_management plugin (MDEV-14180)
• Some fixes from MySQL 5.7.35 (MDEV-26205)
• Fixed scrubbing on AIX (MDEV-26110)
• buf_pool.flush_list corrupted by buffer pool resizing or ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED (MDEV-26200)

Optimizer

• A query that uses ORDER BY .. LIMIT clause and “Range checked for each record optimization” could produce incorrect results under some circumstances (MDEV-25858)
• Queries that have more than 32 equality conditions comparing columns of different tables (“tableX.colX=tableY.colY) could cause a stack overrun in the query optimizer (MDEV-17783, MDEV-23937)
• “Condition pushdown into derived table” optimization cannot be applied if the expression being pushed refers to a derived table column which is computed from expression that has a stored function call, @session variable reference, or other similar construct. The fix for MDEV-25969 makes it so that only the problematic part of the condition is not pushed. The rest of the condition is now pushed. (MDEV-25969)
• A query with window function on the left side of the subquery could cause a crash. (MDEV-25630)
• Fixed the issue fixed in MySQL Bug #76803: DML or locking SELECT statements that use outer joins could produce this warning in the error log: [ERROR] InnoDB: Unlock row could not find a 3 mode lock on the record. (MDEV-26106)
