Vesta Control Panel - Forum

It was said that AliSQL, which is a fork of MySQL, is 70% faster than MySQL itself.

A good news is: Just on yestoday, Aug. 9 2016, Alibaba.com made AliSQL OPENSOURCE ! See: https://www.oschina.net/news/75980/aliy ... rce-alisql

So I have a good idea: if AliSQL is so good, and it is opensource now, why not add it to VestaCP as another database server software along side with MariaDB?

Thank you!

Sorry, but we're can't read chinese so good,
there is some documentation in english?

It seems that AliSQL is "open sourced" but not "opened" yet.

You need to apply for the "tester" account at:

https://promotion.aliyun.com/ntms/act/a ... 6.7.ew47Ze

Again, another Chinese webpage. You can find the blue button titled "我要内测>>" at the bottom of that page. Click on that button, you will be bring to Aliyun.com website ( Aliyun is the company behind AliSQL), you need to have a user account on aliyun.com to fill the application form (registration is free).

I had submitted the application, but got no response till now.

I think too soon talk about support this product. Let's wait and see, how's going.

AliSQL is opened to everyone on Github now:

baijianpeng my friend,
when a product is launched, it takes years to get it into mainstream repos. You need years of mass testing and benchmarks before you can even think of taking something into production use. Sure it may have a potential, but it will need months of thorough testing and bug fixing.

For now... just stick to Default MySQL or its stable forks like Percona or MariaDB.

hi @mehargags, I understand this.

I just offer some information about AliSQL as an option, maybe someone will test it then.

Thank you.

Thanx for the info :-)

As I understand from here page

fully compatible, enhanced and open source drop-in replacement for MySQL.

Is like mariadb or percona

So, you can just remove mysql and install alisql and it may work

Problem is than you need compile it from source as I understand.

For Mariadb /Percona you DON'T remove MySQL, you just install Mariadb /Percona ON TOP OF IT. This means the conf files are honoured from the previous MySQL installation. Removing/Purging may clean off the conf's and may break integration with VestaCP.
