Ok, so I have mariabdb installed which is meant to work like a drop in replacement for mysql. In other stuff I have done, there has been no problem using mariadb instead of mysql.
I was able to create a simple database in mariadb and open it in base using the direct connection. I changed some data, saved it and closed base. I checked in the database on cli and the data had been entered. So I would say that you could say that it works as advertised.
