Summary: MySQL doesn't support modern caching_sha2_password
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam

SUMMARY
Modern versions of MySQL starting with 8.0 default to using the
`caching_sha2_password` plugin.
On my Ubuntu install using the AppImage build, this is working fine. On
Windows, digikam fails to start with an error that it can't find the
`caching_sha2_password` plugin. Likely needs an updated QMySQL driver
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Digikam on Windows
2. Test settup up a connection to a MySQL 8 server using caching_sha2_password
OBSERVED RESULT
Error message received stating the caching_sha2_password module cannot be found
EXPECTED RESULT
It successfully connects
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 11
Qt Version: Unknown
