MariaDB

MariaDB is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) that is a fork of the MySQL database. It is fully compatible with MySQL, but it also includes additional features and improvements. MariaDB is developed and maintained by the MariaDB Corporation and the MariaDB community, and it is widely used as a replacement for MySQL in many web and enterprise applications.

In an ASP.NET application, MariaDB can be used as the underlying database for storing and retrieving data. There are several libraries available for integrating MariaDB with an ASP.NET application, such as MariaDB.Data, MySql.Data, and Dapper. These libraries provide a .NET client for MariaDB, which can be used to interact with the MariaDB database from within an ASP.NET application.
