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.
