You keep quoting this sql-workbench guy, a if he'd be some kind of authority. He's not, and he is biased. A lot of red in MariaDB column can be green, if he researched better.

Now, if we look at your laundry list, and a "real" database, like Oracle

Oracle - Weird UTF8 - check. Actually, WTF-8, encodes supplemental character as 6 bytes, incorrectly, while the original MySQL's utf8mb3 just does not allow them, and is otherwise a strict subset of real UTF8

Oracle - No transactional DDL - check.

Check constraints - 5 years ago, MariaDB

I think you might reconsider your "To get a sense of you're talking about, compare Oracle ..." sentence. Maybe remove Oracle from that list?

Fair enough. I've got no skin in the game for Oracle. Simply omit Oracle from my list.

As for "A lot of red in MariaDB column can be green", please say more. Are you referring to features it supports but is reported wrong or features that simply aren't listed?

Supported, but reported wrong. On the first glance, off the top of my head, without checking his other claims, those are supported features, that are red

   Row constructor
   SELECT FOR UPDATE ... NOWAIT
   IP address datatype
   RETURNING clause
