In collaboration with Sergey Vojtovich <svoj@mariadb.org> The COMPRESSED clause is now a part of the data type and goes immediately after the data type and length, but before the CHARACTER SET clause, and before column attributes such as DEFAULT, COLLATE, ON UPDATE, SYSTEM VERSIONING, engine specific column attributes. In the old reduction, the COMPRESSED clause was a column attribute. New syntax: <varchar or text data type> <length> <compression> <character set> <column attributes> <varbinary or blob data type> <length> <compression> <column attributes> New syntax examples: VARCHAR(1000) COMPRESSED CHARACTER SET latin1 DEFAULT '' BLOB COMPRESSED DEFAULT '' Deprecate syntax examples: VARCHAR(1000) CHARACTER SET latin1 COMPRESSED DEFAULT '' TEXT CHARACTER SET latin1 DEFAULT '' COMPRESSED VARBINARY(1000) DEFAULT '' COMPRESSED As a side effect: - COMPRESSED is not valid as an SP label name in SQL/PSM routines any more (but it's still valid as an SP label name in sql_mode=ORACLE) - COMPRESSED is now allowed in combination with GENERATED ALWAYS AS: TEXT COMPRESSED GENERATED ALWAYS AS REPEAT('a',1000)

MariaDB: drop-in replacement for MySQL
MariaDB is designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.
MariaDB is brought to you by the MariaDB Foundation. Please read the CREDITS file for details about the MariaDB Foundation, and who is developing MariaDB.
MariaDB is developed by many of the original developers of MySQL who now work for the MariaDB Foundation and the MariaDB Corporation, and by many people in the community.
MySQL, which is the base of MariaDB, is a product and trademark of Oracle Corporation, Inc. For a list of developers and other contributors, see the Credits appendix. You can also run 'SHOW authors' to get a list of active contributors.
A description of the MariaDB project and a manual can be found at:

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-versus-mysql-features/
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-versus-mysql-compatibility/
As MariaDB is a full replacement of MySQL, the MySQL manual at http://dev.mysql.com/doc is generally applicable.
