Not sure exactly what you're running into here. We just have to find and un-check the checkbox that says "Prepend the user name onto the tablename" since that's dumb.
You might try the MySQL driver. Before MariaDB shipped their own drivers (years ago!) they were interchangeable. Oh, and NEVER use the root user to access data in an app. It's too easy to destroy the database that way, maliciously or accidentally.
