Dan,
I don't know where I read this warning, in this forum or some other, but
there should be a warning to users who convert to Mariadb from MySQL.
Yes, they can convert to Mariadb, but they may not be able to go back to
MySQL once they used Mariadb on the database. I have not yet made that
transition, so I have no direct experience with this and cannot
corroborate it. If it is true, then a warning about this should be
included with LO documentation referring to using Mariadb.

There is development work on a mysql/mariadb connector that Alex
discovered requiring some changes in how the connecter is built. When
working with the leading edge source code, I had to install MariaDB.
Then I was informed that I needed to work with the 4.0 source code.
That is when I had to re-install Ubuntu. But after that, I was able to
build two mysql-connector-ooo.oxt: x86 for 32 bit AND x86-64 for 64
bit. As soon as I can finish everything within these files, I will
upload them to the Extension section of the LO website. The working
parts of these files work, but the documentation part is not what it
should be yet.

Hi :)
Thanks Dan. That sounds like a bit of a nightmare. I tend to prefer
testing new things on a spare machine or on a spare partition but
it's not always possible.
Apparently it also doesn't work on Macs although i'm entirely certain
how far that goes. For example could Base as a front-end on a Mac
read MariaDb as a back-end on a Debian server. Presumably it does
but i don't know of anyone that has tried it.
Regards from
Tom :)

But if you should change your mind, you might find it
difficult to
go back to MySQL. I had to re-install Ubuntu 12.04 LST to remove
all of
the MariaDB files. Something similar happened when I tried MariaDB
a few
years ago.
