On my online server, I can only use MySql but LAMPP has the MariaDB database installed. Is this database fully compatible with MySql? If I produce mydesign on my computer, will I be able to upload it to the MySql server that I have online without running into any problems.
If not, can I install MySql on my LAMPP server on my own computer so that it replaces the MariaDB database?
