Database option in cpanel
As by default cpanel use to support MYSQL as database.
Is mariadb something different from mysql?
Isn't it same thing?
I have also found some hosting provider providing postgresql as the database to their client. How could I do the same?
-
MariaDB is very similar to MySQL: both are based are on the same "core", but MySQL Inc got purchased by Oracle and some license changed which both caused a lot of people to leave and go for MariaDB. They are about 90%+ compatible.
PostgreSQL is a bit similar to MySQL/MariaDB in that they are all SQL databases: but PostgreSQL has different storage settings, some commands are subtly different etc. I would say about 40-60% compatible from a coding perspective.
cPanel is considering sunsetting/retiring PostgreSQL ( https://features.cpanel.net/c/63-sunset-support-for-postgresql ), but if you would like to install it there is a guide on https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/articles/360053063353-How-to-install-and-configure-PostgreSQL.
