Title: Message Title

Frederic Desjarlais commented on an issue   Re: Use MariaDB instead of MySQL JDBC driver (and advocate MariaDB in documentation) Sent a Git PR via https://github.com/openMF/mifosx/pull/616 . To enable MariaDB, use: $ gradle clean tomcatRunWar -Pmariadb If the -P option isn't specified, then MySQL will be used. Still left to be done (in order of priority): 1. Need to support Flyway migration to add the 2 additional columns in the tenant list database. The gradle command to import/setup the database won't work yet (since it relies on a Flyway migration). The instruction (step two) in the INSTALL.md file can be used (for now) – I added a new 'mifosng-db/mifospltaform-tenants-first-time-install-mariadb.sql' file instead (and modified 'mifosng-db/mifospltaform-tenants-first-time-install.sql'). 2. The context.xml file is still the same (contains MySQL driver classname and URL prefix). I added entries in build.gradle indicating that I wasn't sure how to rename the context.xml file to support both cases (if that's a goal). 3. Update the documentation at/around https://github.com/openMF/mifosx/wiki/MySQL-Database-Setup . 4. The gradle dependencies bring-in both MySQL and MariaDB artifacts. An external file may be preferable to manage the dependencies (or drop MySQL support). Thanks! Frederic Add Comment   Mifos X / MIFOSX-409 Use MariaDB instead of MySQL JDBC driver (and advocate MariaDB in documentation) I'd like to suggest that Mifos X switch from the MySQL JDBC driver mysql-connector-java-*.jar to the MariaDB JDBC driver, AKA "MariaDB Client Library for Java Applications", see https://downloads.mariadb.org/client-java/. Why? On a "philosophical" FLOSS level, for a project like Mifos, the LGPL license of MariaDB's JDBC driver is friendlier & clearer t...
