Converting Vbulletin Database to MariaDB (Aria)

[kemraj]

Since alot of people are converting to MariaDB (Aria) and its more efficient than MyISAM can i convert my Vbulletin Database to MariaDB (Aria) in the phpmyadmin page?
Does vbulletin current database conflict with the conversion?.

It's not supported but will most likely work with no issues

Er if I was you I would do a complete backup first and then try the conversion in a test site before trying it on the live site just in case it goes tits up.

Sorry if that was the obvious, but I do not know what you know about the process. I think most people would rather be told something like that when they do not know it then find it out when they crash/kill the site.
