Re: [libreoffice-users] LO Base: MySQL or Mariadb ?
Hi, MariaDB is compatible with MySQL, the MySQL connectors, and MySQL API and is designed to be a drop-in replacement for MySQL. I have connected to MariaDB using the LO provided MySQL connector on earlier versions of LO. I have not done so with 4.1.X yet.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO Base: MySQL or Mariadb ?
I have seen nothing that indicates that you cannot use Maria DB as a drop-in replacement for MySQL at this point. Last I tried it was with Drupal 7. It just worked. I expect the same for Base, if it is not so, file a bug report against Maria DB. -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Last I tried it was with Drupal 7. It just worked. I expect the same for Base, if it is not so, file a bug report against Maria DB. I'm using MariaDB on all of my web servers, and it really is a drop-in replacement. I uninstalled mysql, installed mariadb, and bo0m, everything just worked. I've used it with webservers running a broad spectrum of applications, including drupal, wordpress, joomla, scuttle, friendica, redmatrix, knoxious pastebin, statusnet, piwigo, gallery3, and more. I have not used it with LObase, though. I imagine it would work just fine.

Best, Joel I, too, am faced with switching to Mariadb, since the latest Slackware Linux has switched from MySQL to Mariadb. I looked on the Mariadb website and they are claiming full compatibility with everything, including the connectors. I have yet to confirm that, but I am hopeful. I did notice that Mariadb even goes so far as to keep the MySQL utility program names, such as mysql_install_db. So even existing MySQL scripts should work with Mariadb. That is pretty compatible. Good luck.
