------------------------------------
Summary: 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
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.
