I agree. That will go into the chapter on using Base to connect to
various data sources. I think that was originally scheduled to be
chapter 8 or 9, but I think this chapter should be moved up to chapter 5.
Personal experience: I used synaptic to completely remove mariadb
including the config files. Then when I tried to reinstall MySQL,
synaptic insisted on installing a mariadb file instead of the mysql
file. So, I reinstalled Ubuntu 12.04. Now I have MySQL back.

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.

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.
