Hi :) I think if you are on a Mac then don't worry about running Ubuntu. If you really need Ubuntu then maybe in a virtual machine such as VirtualBox (hah, i know it's Oracle again but they seem to actually care about this project) Regards from Tom :) On 6 May 2014 23:36, Phil wrote: > Hi All

Everything I read about MariaDB states that it is a plug-in replacement for MySQL. I also discovered the MariaDB programs even retain the MySQL names as well as their functionality, such as mysql_install_db, so scripts and procedures should run without change. I am still running MySQL on my S

IIRC MySql is owned by Oracle, but *MariaDB is not*, so I believe there should be no problem using MariaDB to connect with Base via the appropriate connector. HTH. john On 05/05/2014 06:02 PM, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) Good point!! An external database is a really good approach. Many people go
