Background - I am using XAMPP, which has MariaDB on my Windows development machine. I cant remove this as I have a number of projects that depend and use this. On my new project on AWS EC2, Windows Server, I have IIS and MySql installed. Issue - 1. When I try my DB modifications on the dev machine, they don't always transfer over. I have to tweak them. 2. To confirm that my DB is identical to the Production one, I would like to backup the DB on the real server and restore it on my machine. But this is even worse, too many changes ae required. Question - How can I run both Maria and MySQL on my Dev machine? - MariaDB needs to remain unaffected - MySQL does not have to run with Apache, the Development IDE has its own webserver for debugging. - They both need to be available. Some projects will use MySQL, others will use MariaDB. No project will use both simultaneously. Note - I hadn't tried installing MySQL, as I didn't want MariaDB to break - which would affect other projects.
