Some Choices Made in This Book
In the past few years, many forks of MySQL were born. The most important are Percona server and MariaDB. I skipped them completely in this book because I work mostly with MySQL and simply cannot describe servers I don’t work with daily. However, because they are forks, you can use most of the methods described here. Only if you are dealing with a particular feature added in the fork will you need information specific to that product.
To conserve space and avoid introducing a whole new domain of knowledge with a lot of its own concerns, I left out MySQL Cluster problems. If you use MySQL Cluster and run into an SQL or application issue, you can troubleshoot it in much the same way as any other storage engine issue.
