Question MariaDB instead of MySQL on a fresh machine?

[DarkTexas]

Hi there folks!

Just a short question, I'm running a Windows Server 2016 and decided to move onto another Server with Windows Server 2019. Now that I've installed Plesk I've noticed that in the DB Manager I only see MariaDB instead of Plesk. When opening the Control Panel via the taskbar it also Shows me "MariaDB Server" instead of "MySQL Server" like it was on my "original" Server.

Is that the default for Plesk now, or have I done anything wrong, or is MariaDB even better to use now and that's why it was installed?

Thanks in advance for your help folks!

Chris
