Here is what plesk wrote…

> Configure the MariaDB repository on your server. To generate the repository configuration for your operating system, use the wizard available at https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/. When selecting the MySQL version, choose the version not less than your current MySQL version. Additionally, the version must not be higher than 5.5.

am using mariadb 10.1 now, will there be problems if i downgrade?

Try making test of un-installing MariaDBIf you need a non-blocking OPTIMIZE, and re-install mySQL. I think that should work without any issue. Oracle is the best supporter of migration from Mariadb to MySQL as it pretends non-existence of Mariadb (company politics-policies) and it doesn't provide the possibility of migration too.

The migration should be straightforward only if you don't utilize the special features (no storage engines besides MyISAM/Innodb). Shutdown Mariadb, save the data directory, remove MariaDB, install MySQL, copy the saved data directory back. In the worst case you'd need to remove parameters from my.ini/my.cnf that are not recognized by MySQL.
