thanks for all the replies!

If I may, in evaluating the switch to MariDB, we will need the functionality we use in Percona Server now, specifically, the MEMORY engine dynamic row format patch that allows to support TEXT fields. - I hope it is present in MariaDB 5.5 (my googling indicates this but not conclusively). - And while at it, was MariaDB ever improved to use this DFR patch for the internal tmp tables? I Googled and could not locate anything written on this subject, except a year old Percona blog post mentioning that they intended to do it some day: http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2011/09/06/dynamic-row-format-for-memory-tables/

Many Thanks, Gene

Unfortunately, dynamic row format patch for MariaDB was never finished. We've started porting it, but then it was put on hold.
