I have. So far, I'd call it an upgrade, since most of my database retrieval calls have been going a lot faster since I made the switch.
MariaDB gives a similar performance boost in my experience, but since I run a localhost install on a XAMPP stack, it can be a real hassle making the switch from MySQL to MariaDB. However, moving up from your current MySQL to MySQL 5.6 shouldn't be an issue and you should get a performance boost out of it. I can't tell what this would me for a live site, but so far, it works well for me, and you could probably drop in replace the newer version of MySQL over your older version with little difficulty. > Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2013 00:35:58 -0400 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: [MediaWiki-l] MySQL 5.6.x > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA384 > > Hi, > > Has anyone tested MediaWiki with MySQL 5.6.x?
