Hi Folks,
MariaDB is no longer a drop in replacement for MySQL
as of v8.0 (MySQL). I moved to MariaDB fairly soon after
it was released. Many reasons to, but after Oracle bought them
I thought we might see it die or become another proprietary
product. Since then, changes in MySQL have not induced me to
return to it. There are many reasons, for me at least,
to continue with MariaDB. Many of which can be seen on the web
in the numerous comparisons. None of which MySQL seems to
stand out in.
Yes, QMT still works perfectly with MariaDB and in all my
instances better.
Thanks Eric. I had not realised the duality of the RPMs for the
two RDBMS. I imagined they would be the same. My bad.
Again Thank you Eric.
regards
Anthony White

Honestly, I'm not sure. I simply chose MySQL because it was getting time consuming maintaining two versions of the rpm
spec (qmail,vpopmail,ezmlm,vqadmin,qmailadmin) files one for Maria another for MySQL.
I believed and still believe that the vpopmail db from one will migrate
seamlessly to the other.

I am a little confused. Does this mean that Mariadb should not be used
with QMT?

I saw no reason to maintain two versions of the software.

FYI
When I did roll on to Rocky8 and now Rocky 9 I found out that
the 10.3.35-MariaDB Server version - is the last version compliant
with Qmail software.
I think recall it is libmysqlclient
that no longer is compliant and therefore causing errors.

Hi Eric,
  Is there a specific reason you do not offer both MySQL
and MariaDB during the install/setup of QMT please? This
is for Rocky 9 only 8 offers both.
