--- Comment #4 from Ian Palko <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Nicholas van Oudtshoorn from comment #3) > Are there any plans for debian to migrate from MySQL to MariaDB? Latest > mariadb works fine with Koha under fedora... This is because MariaDB still is configured to accept the less-than-strict way things have been implemented in Koha. Since MySQL 5.1 there has been a strict mode. I would have caused the same problems back then, but "strict mode" was not the default. It became default in 5.7. MySQL 5.7 will work fine with Koha if it is put in the less-strict mode. It also would work fine if we translate the less-than-strict calls into strict calls. It also would work fine if the Koha code is cleaned-up to conform to strict behaviour. The latter seems to me the most preferable long-term solution, since it guarantees future compatibility without hacky fixes. That's a lot of work to do that, however, the first two options would make for a more short-term solution to get Koha running on MySQL 5.7. I don't know that there are plans to move to MariaDB or officially support it. Still, to be clear, this is a MySQL problem, it's a Koha problem. MariaDB simply allows for our less-than-strict implementation, but if it too eventually decides to follow MySQL's lead, we would have the same issues. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
