Bug ID: 147997
Summary: MySQL/MariaDB: Dialog for direct connection should be
changed from MySQL to MariaDB
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.1.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: rob...@familiegrosskopf.de
Since LO 6.2 the direct connection for MariaDB is included in LO:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/6.2#Base
Start LO.
Click on "Base Database"
Connect to an existing database.
Choose MySQL (should be changed to MySQL/MariaDB)
Next (Step 2) → Connect directly (Step 2 should be changed from "Setup MySQL
Connection" to …MySQL/MariaDB…)
Step 3 now declares to be a connection to MySQL, also the dialog declares to
connect to MySQL. But the connection we are using is a MariaDB-connection.
Nobody cares about this, because there was no essential difference between
MySQL and MariaDB when creating the direct connection with MariaDB. But with
newer versions of MySQL the connection could be buggy together with MySQL. So
we should show it is a MariaDB-connector we are using, not a MySQL-connector.
