The most relevant test would be using MariaDB on an application with real data. Therefore if you have any type of application that uses MySQL as a back-end, we'd like to encourage you to test this application with a copy of real data together with MariaDB database.

Can't make the date?
If you come to this page before or after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test, file any bugs you find at Bugzilla, and add your results to the results section. If this page is more than a month old when you arrive here, please check the current schedule and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.

What to test?[edit]

Today's instalment of Fedora Test Day will focus on the F19 feature Replacing MySQL by MariaDB. The test cases will focus on functional compatibility, upgrading issues and data migration.

Who's available[edit]

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...

Prerequisite for Test Day[edit]

Optionally, you may download a non-destructive live image for your architecture. Tips on using a live image are available at FedoraLiveCD.

Data backup
Make sure you have properly backed-up all data you could theoretically lost during the test. It doesn't usually happen, but you know the Murphy's law.

Backup data before testing[edit]

In case you are going to test MariaDB on a system with non-empty MySQL data, you should backup your data before.

Data Recovery from backup[edit]

In case something gets wrong, you can get back to backed-up data.

Data migration[edit]

In case you need to migrate data from one database instance to another (which can be even of another version, but keep in mind that only 5.0->5.1->5.5 upgrade paths are actually supported), you need to:

No data upgrade needed if replacing the same version
When migrating between instances of the same minor version (e.g. from mysql-5.5.x to mariadb-5.5.x) we don't have to do run mysql_upgrade.

Test Cases[edit]

The following test cases focus on testing potential upgrading issues on the one hand and on functionality issues on the other hand.

Upgrading from MySQL to MariaDB and data migration[edit]

In order to test MariaDB, you can either use already installed Fedora 18, Fedora 19 Live CD images or properly installed version of upcoming Fedora 19. Depending on which way you choose you can perform one of the following test cases:

Warning.png
Updating perl-DBD-MySQL from testing repository
When you are using current Fedora 19 stable repository, you should install perl-DBD-MySQL package from the testing repository (available here), because the previous build (currently in Fedora 19 stable repository) included wrong dependencies. It has been fixed, but the new build has not got to stable repository yet.

Functional compatibility testing[edit]

After you have successfully installed MariaDB on your system, you can test functionality using the following test cases:

The most relevant test would be using MariaDB on an application with real data. Therefore if you have any type of application that uses MySQL as a back-end, we'd like to encourage you to test this application with a copy of real data together with MariaDB database.

Test Results[edit]

If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to Red Hat Bugzilla usually for the component mariadb. If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask on IRC and we will help you. Once you have completed the tests, add your results to the Results table below, following the example results from the first line as a template. The first column should be your name with a link to your User page in the Wiki if you have one. For each test case, use the result template to enter your result, as shown in the example result line.
