**Percona MySQL is an enhanced version of Oracle MySQL** (known as a rebase; Percona is not a fork). We take the MySQL released from Oracle and add new features, and improve existing ones. We don’t remove anything. Anything that exists in Oracle MySQL also exists in Percona MySQL.

Where to learn:  
check our training: [Percona Training - Percona](https://www.percona.com/training)  
check MySQL documentation: [https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/introduction.html](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/introduction.html)
