The versions of MariaDB and MySQL correspond to each other.<\/p>\n

  1. MariaDB 10.1 corresponds to MySQL 5.6.<\/li>\n

    This relationship is not a one-to-one correspondence, as MariaDB and MySQL are two different database management systems with their own characteristics and improvements, although they have a common origin.
