RT & MariaDB support

I’m currently running RT 4.0.10 and couldn’t be happier. However, it’s
database is currently housed on a shared, underpowered Windows XP system
& I’ll looking to rework it. I’m not pleased with how MySQL has
progressed (I’m running 5.1 right now & would be moving to 5.5) and have
begun looking at MariaDB. Has anyone tried using MariaDB with RT? Is it
supported? Issues? Is there an alternate database I should be using?

I don’t see why it wouldn’t work, as MariaDB is supposed to be a drop-in replacement for MySQL. You might not be able to use one of the newer storage engines, but it should just work, no different than with MySQL.
