Christian Lenz commented on NETBEANS-673: ----------------------------------------- Is it really needed? I mean, MariaDB is a fork of MySQL and completely compatible as you already said. I don't see any benefits for using this. Aren't there any? > Add support for MariaDB JDBC driver in Add Connection dialog > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: NETBEANS-673 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-673 > Project: NetBeans > Issue Type: Bug > Components: db - Code > Affects Versions: 9.0 > Reporter: Eirik Bakke > Priority: Minor > Labels: pull-request-available > Attachments: NETBEANS-673 Patch Screenshot Updated.png > > Time Spent: 50m > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > The "Add Connection" wizard does not currently recognize the MariaDB JDBC > driver; this means that the "host", "port", and "database" fields do not end > up being shown in the connection panel. Instead, the user has to manually > construct the JDBC URL to insert this information. > The fix is simple; a new entry needs to be added in > org.netbeans.modules.db.util.DriverListUtil , recognizing the driver class > "org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver" (instead of "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" for MySQL). The > MariaDB driver uses the exact same format for its JDBC URLs as MySQL, except > allows the protocol name "mariadb" to be used instead of "mysql". > (MariaDB and its driver aims to be completely compatible with MySQL--either > driver can be used to connect to either database. The MariaDB JDBC driver is > LGPL while MySQL's driver is GPL, however, making only the MariaDB one > suitable for bundling with commercial software.) > See also https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-170, which deals with > simplifying the JDBC driver download process. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commits-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commits-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
