Iād like to propose a feature that would allow seamless switching of the database engine on the server between MariaDB and MySQL, in both directions. The whole process would be fully automatic and done without any data loss or manual intervention.
The idea is to make it possible to change the database engine whenever needed, without downtime and without having to deal with exports, imports, or manual fixes. This could be useful, for example, when application requirements change or when someone wants to move to a different engine without the usual migration hassle.
