MariaDB starting with 10.1.2

Starting from version 10.1.2, MariaDB supports the EXPLAIN FORMAT=JSON syntax.

MariaDB's output for EXPLAIN FORMAT=JSON is different from MySQL's. There are multiple reasons for that

  • MySQL's output has deficiencies (some are listed here: EXPLAIN FORMAT=JSON in MySQL)
  • MariaDB has optimizations that MySQL does not have. Ergo, MariaDB generates query plans that MySQL does not generate.
