  1. Comparison Table
  2. See Also

The following is a comparison of variables that either appear only in MariaDB 10.9 or MySQL 8.0, or have different default settings in MariaDB 10.9, and MySQL 8.0. The releases MariaDB 10.9.1 and MySQL 8.0.11, with only default plugins enabled, were used for the comparison. Note that MySQL 8 is an 'evergreen' release, so features may be added or removed in later releases.
