Advanced MariaDB features that developers love

We are currently running PHP Cambridge talks online. We're happy to welcome Federico Razzoli for June's talk. Federico last talked for us at our first virtual meetup back in July 2020 and it's a pleasure to welcome him back to talk about MariaDB.

MariaDB is one of the most widely used relational databases. It is compatible with MySQL for most practical purposes, and it is appreciated by developers communities all over the world.

Over the years, MariaDB has developed many features that are extremely useful for developers, saving a lot of development time and enabling its use in situations where it wouldn't be practical otherwise.

In this talk, we'll briefly discuss some of those features and why they are so useful. We'll talk about:

• Querying remote or heterogeneous data sources in SQL;
• Using temporal tables to analyse how data changes over time;
• Using JSON in a relational database;
• Miscellaneous tips and tricks.
