mySQL for which platform? Last I checked, the build for Windows did NOT support 
encryption. There is a special branch that does, but I could never get it to 
work.

What I came up with is an agent that resides on the SQL server, built in 
Livecode that listens for connections. It then handles the queries locally and 
returns the data.

The client and Server encrypt the data before sending it using a method only I 
know, so it’s very secure. The communications are done but I haven’t done the 
actual query side yet. That will be a half day’s work at most.

I think this client server approach is far better than native encryption, 
because I control the method and use a technique where even if someone tried 
brute force, or somehow discovered the key, they still could not decrypt the 
data, and wouldn’t know why.

Dear livecode programmers,

For a few years we ran an internal app that accessed a MariaDB database (no PHP 
or LiveCode Server middleware, just a raw connection) using SSL.
The server running the database is old, so we moved to a new one.

The new one comes with a Mysql 8 Database instead of MariaDB and the SSL 
encryption suddenly stopped working.

The new MYSQL database has a working SSL encryption cert (Let's encrypt).

There are the tests:
