MariaDB announced the general availability of MariaDB Community Server 10.6, a major new release that brings significant advancements to the open source MariaDB community.

MariaDB Community Server 10.6 adds important features for developers with JSON table functionality, frees users from expensive proprietary ties with expanded PL/SQL compatibility and adds powerful insurance for bad database days with atomic DDL that supports MariaDB's multiple storage engine architecture.

"MariaDB is one of the top relational databases in the world, known for its rapid innovation, strong community and modern architecture that supports workload flexibility," said Max Mether, co-founder and VP of server product management, MariaDB Corporation.

Extending JSON: JSON is fast becoming the standard format for data interchange and for unstructured data, and MariaDB includes a range of JSON supporting functions.

With this release, MariaDB adds JSON table functions, enabling a table view into JSON data stored in MariaDB. Queries are returned as a regular table using SQL. Oracle compatibility: Beginning with version 10.3, MariaDB was the first open source database to add PL/SQL compatibility, making it easy to migrate from Oracle to MariaDB. This release adds several new community-developed PL/SQL compatibility functions, a reflection of the wide-reaching impact this open source innovation has had in the world.

MariaDB Community Server 10.6 includes significant enhancements to its analytical capabilities including performance improvements, additional Oracle compatibility, better resiliency and new disk-based aggregation to support larger aggregate data sets and lower hardware costs.
