Web Application VS Windows Application
-
i have mysql on windows a long ago, but recently i installed one application that work only on linux platform so i installed mysql in ubuntu along side with this linux application,
-
Okay.. so only the MariaDB on Ubuntu is what matters here, right? The MySQL on Windows is a red herring?
-
ok, but i just search on the internet about this mariaDB, i found that it is different than mysql
-
Ok, let us just keep simplicity, let's call it mysql, i do not want to confuse myself especially i'm about to start a new project, i have to stick to what is familiar to me so that i can move forward
-
so ok, now for the DBMS we know that mysql on ubuntu is better than the one in windows and better than MS SQL Server, great
-
also there is a software called lamp (similar to wamp in windows) i guess installing apache and mysql seperatly is more reliable than just install this ready to use application (i guess lamp only for testing and dev, in production envirnemnt we have to install things seperatly, isn't it)

Yes, it is better. But it is what people CALL MySQL, you see. It's a fork that replaced it. Nearly all Linux distros ship MariaDB as MySQL.

You need to understand this now, it will be worse later. MySQL is really silly to be discussing. You should be on MariaDB, it's that simple.

Yes, and MySQL on Ubuntu is MariaDB.

LAMP is what there always was. WAMP was copying the Linux ecosystem to Windows for people who just refused to leave Windows. WAMP is a horrible idea
Even Microsoft would say that. -

WAMP is not a package, it is installing the components separately.
LAMP on Ubuntu is this command...
apt-get install mariadb httpd phpThat's it.

oh great, so what a about connecting to MariaDB, is it the same as mysql, the syntax, is it similar to mysql in every aspect ?? if no what are the differences ??

Sure you manually have to install the components separately on Windows, but that command installs three things on Linux, you just are fortunate and able to install all of them in one command.
They are still three separate things. -
@scottalanmiller but i remember when i installed that linux application i type the following command (in their documentation)
apt-get -y install php5-gd php5-mysql php5 php5-cli apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 tshark mtr mysql-server php5-mcrypt librsvg2-bin gsfontsso i think this command installed mysql not MariaDB, so i have to upgrade or something ??
i fear if i change mysql to MariaDB, this application will stop -

It IS what everyone calls MySQL. All tools are the same. You dont' need to know that it is MariaDB at all. No differences at all.

even if apt-get install mysql not apt-get install MariaDB ??

Correct. Unless you are on a really old version of Ubuntu. What's your version?

14.04

Just as a side note, I'd update to current before you start a development project. No reason to be so far behind, and when developing it is that much more important not to rely on old stuff.
