Importing MariaDB into Mysql in WordPress

VVV for Vagrant now comes with MariaDB by default.

If I work locally for developing a WordPress site and then want to import the database to a production environment. Will the import be compatible or is this bad practices?

Thanks

While at the current point in time there is very little difference, and maybe no difference at all, this is a bad practice if your development environment supposed to replicate the server your code will run on.

There is just no point in forking a product without having the intention to change it, and the changes might be explicit as different toolset commands or SQL syntax changes, or hidden like better/worse performance for some queries.

For 99% of the wordpress oriented development it makes no difference, but it always sucks to discover your current specific project is in the 1% only when you are running into problems (which usually comes when you have no time to waste on such things).
